SAN DIEGO (AP) — An effort to free whales from SeaWorld by claiming they were enslaved made a splash in the news but flopped in court Wednesday.
A federal judge in San Diego dismissed an unprecedented lawsuit seeking to grant constitutional protection against slavery to a group of orcas that perform at SeaWorld parks, saying the 13th amendment applies only to humans.
U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Miller stopped the case from proceeding two days after he became the first judge in U.S. history to listen to arguments in court over the possibility of granting constitutional rights for members of an animal species.
Yeah only corporations are people. :lamo
Corporations are a peaceful assembly of people and as such have constitutional rights.

How long until swatting a fly is an act of murder?
Then the next time a corporation is convicted of a crime we should issue arrest warrants for all of those peacefully assembled people that have voting shares.Corporations are a peaceful assembly of people and as such have constitutional rights.

That's fine for the people. The people have rights. The assembly, in and of itself, should not.
That would stopp many of the frivelous lawsuits. When someone comes in with a lawsuit so bogus or so undeniably false, they should have to pay the court fees.The judge should have laughed his ass of at PETA and fined the **** out of them and their lawyers for wasting the court's time and tax payer's money.

Meat is murder! And murder is delicious...
LOL! So they're protected until they commit a crime ... then the status changes and they're not responsible for the crime. That sounds about right. LOL!Of course.If they commit a crime then they are no longer peaceful assembly of people.Just like protesters who riot and damage property.
