"Five killer whales have been named as plaintiffs in a court case which argues they deserve the same constitutional protection from slavery as humans."

Flashback —
Obama's close friend and radical cell co-member, Cass Sunstein, wrote in a 2002 working paper while at the University of Chicago Law school and later republished the following in an introduction of a book he co-authored on animal rights prior to his appointment as head of Obama's regulatory gang —
"[A]nimals should be permitted to bring suit, with human beings as their representatives, to prevent violations of current law … Any animals that are entitled to bring suit would be represented by (human) counsel, who would owe guardian-like obligations and make decisions, subject to those obligations, on their clients’ behalf.”
It didn't end there. Sunstein delivered a keynote speech at Harvard University’s 2007 “Facing Animals” conference. Keep in mind that as OIRA Administrator, Sunstein has the political authority to implement a massive federal government overhaul. Consider this tidbit:
“We ought to ban hunting, I suggest, if there isn’t a purpose other than sport and fun. That should be against the law. It’s time now.”
Sunstein also argued in favor of “eliminating current practices such as greyhound racing, cosmetic testing, and meat eating, most controversially.”
He concluded his Harvard speech by expressing his, Sunstein's, “more ambitious animating concern” that the current treatment of livestock and other animals should be considered “a form of unconscionable barbarity not the same as, but in many ways morally akin to, slavery and mass extermination of human beings.”

Monkey see; monkey do...which brings us to today in one of California's bizarre federal courts. The circus has come to town, folks, but in this Greatest Show On Earth, the critters are in the stands and the humans are jumping through hoops.
