Judge to PETA in Orca Slavery suit against Sea World: "GTFO!"
 Duplicate from yesterday but we like the comments :-)A federal judge dismissed on Wednesday a lawsuit filed in San Diego by PETA against SeaWorld, alleging the park's performing killer whales are being held in captivity as slaves, in violation of the U.S. Constitution's 13th Amendment. "only counting as 3/5ths of a white for voting, too, your honor!" Judge Jeffrey Miller dismissed the lawsuit two days after hearing an hour of arguments about the case's merits. Miller ruled that the 13th Amendment, adopted in 1865, applied only to humans, and the lawsuit could not proceed. "So, you see, you're clearly nucking futs. Dismissed. Counselor? I'm recommending you spend 2 or 3 hours in the tank to discuss the appeals with your 'clients'" A lawyer for PETA said the group has not decided if it will appeal the ruling but vowed the fight on behalf of the whales will continue. they need to pay the Sea World Atty's costs and court's time "We'll look at the order closely and see where we go from here," said lawyer Jeff Kerr. "We're concerned only with the well-being of the orcas and trying to end their enslavement." "Nobody knows...the trubble I seine" Posted by: Frank G 2012-02-09 |
