Very interesting, so the court decided that the non-human individuals have =
rights such as freedom of movement, and that the orangutan was unjustly imp=
risoned at a zoo (the story makes it clear that she didn't enjoy being ther=
e, and would probably not choose to remain).=C2=A0 I wonder how much preced=
ent this case will generate, and whether it will get applied to industrial =
animals as well.

(that's a great improvement from a country where, 40 years ago, humans
didn't have human rights)
Now, let's Uplift them!!!
