Dolphins and whales to become ‘non-human persons’: Should they have rights?

By Periscope Writer

As scientists present evidence that cetaceans – whales and dolphins – are “persons”, the world wonders whether they should have “rights”.

Posted by Stephanie Dazey

Dutch stem cell scientist Dr. Mark Post from the University of Maastricht, plans to unveil the world’s first test-tube burger as early as Oct. 2012. That’s right, people: in vitro — it’s not just for baby-making anymore …

What does PETA have to say about all this? In the face of a viable meat product that doesn’t come from killing animals, one may be so inclined to inquire where the ubiquitous vegan organization stands on the issue. Interestingly, you may remember that in 2008, PETA launched a competition (www.peta.org/features/In-Vitro…) offering a “$1 million prize to the contest participant able to make the first in vitro chicken meat and sell it to the public by June 30, 2012.” …
