Can an animal be a slave?

Author: John Hadley – Research Lecturer at University of Western Sydney
Is the confinement of animals for human purposes akin to slavery? Are some animals slaves?
Slavery is an evocative concept. Treating someone as a slave is one of the worst things you can do to them. Using the term “slavery” brings with it considerable rhetorical force.

The insanity of PETA: Its frivolous lawsuit against SeaWorld compared whales to black slaves
By David Meyers
One of the most frivolous and disgusting lawsuits in recent memory was heard before a federal court in San Diego this week.

This is not a story from The Onion. It is a sad but true story that demonstrates…

Do whales have civil rights?

When it comes to the constitutional amendment banning slavery, PETA argues that orcas are people, too.

Are whales really entitled to human rights? Here, a brief guide to this unusual…
