About this event
Last month, the Colorado Supreme Court heard arguments by the Nonhuman Rights Project centered on whether the elephants confined at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo have the right to liberty and must be released to an elephant sanctuary. This hearing marked the first time any state high court in the Western US has considered whether a nonhuman being is entitled to a legal right and can invoke the protections of habeas corpus, a revered centuries-old safeguard of liberty. Don't miss this unique opportunity to go behind the scenes with NhRP attorney Jake Davis and Executive Director Christopher Berry as they share insights on this landmark case and what it means for the future of nonhuman animal rights. Whether you're an animal advocate, a legal enthusiast, or simply curious about this evolving area of law, this discussion is not to be missed.
