Sandra Orangutan Declared a Person With a Right to Freedom
Friday, January 23, 2015 22:01
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
An Argentine court has ruled that the Buenos Aires zoo has to release Sandra, an orangutan, to a sanctuary, because that she has suffered “unjustified confinement of an animal with proven cognitive ability” and “should be recognized as a person with a right to freedom.” Let's hope this decision paves the way for future success for many other animals in other countries.
