Elephants can't pursue their release from a Colorado zoo because they're not human, court says

Read Time:33 Second


Five elephants at a Colorado zoo may be “majestic” but do not have the legal right to pursue their release since they aren’t human. That was the ruling Tuesday from Colorado’s highest court. It follows a similar court defeat in New York in 2022 for an elephant named Happy at the Bronx Zoo in a case brought by an animal rights group. Rulings in favor of the animals would have allowed lawyers for elephants at both zoos to pursue a long-held legal process for prisoners to challenge their detention. It may have also allowed the elephants to be sent to live in an elephant sanctuary.
