Harvard Law's animal-rights professor Steven M. Wise, who once represented a captive dolphin named Rainbow in a suit against an aquarium, says that the same laws that established legal rights for slaves should be used on behalf of animals. To traditional legal scholars, the concept is preposterous, if not demeaning. For the time being probably not, as animal-rights lawyers concentrate on establishing the rights of our immediate relatives, leaving the plight of lesser creatures for the future. If that happens, Kanzi might yet be able to make a pitch for his freedom in court.
