Big purrs and commendations for Denver University.
The University of Denver has created the position of Professor of Animal Law. It is a sign of the times that there is enough activity in this area to need a professor or even lawyers who work with the legal aspects of human animal interactions.

I will let you read about all the good work Justin Marceau has done.

Can you believe it! a few years ago no one would have considered issues of animal rights and non human personhood status. We live in interesting times.

This is wonderful news! Power to Justin Marceau!

He is doing a lot of good work. Each case is a test case. Many of these ideas have never been brought before the courts. Who ever heard of a Habeas Corpus for a Chimp. Even if they don't get it, who ever heard of a court thinking about a case like that.

Things are changing and this position of Professor of Animal Law is a real sign of how far they have changed.
