Animal rights a social justice challenge...

Australasian Business Intelligence, April, 2007

Apr 26, 2007 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- An international animal rights lawyer wants major changes to animal laws. Steven Wise is visiting Australia to give the inaugural animal law lecture at the University of New South Wales on 1 May 2007. Wise wants highly intelligent species, such as apes, elephants and dolphins, to be granted fundamental individual rights. This means that they would be treated as legal persons, rather than being protected by anti-cruelty laws. Australian governments have just passed a code that will extend farming of pigs in cramped pens for another 10 years.
