They are legal things. Well, since Roman times, a thing has been an entity who lacks the capacity for legal rights. It can be a pencil. It can be a computer. It can be a human being at the time of slavery. But a person is an entity who has the capacity for one or more legal rights. At one time, it was defined in a very narrow way. Or actually freemen or persons.

But slaves were not. Sometimes women were not.

So, for example, in the last few years, the New Zealand Parliament has designated a river as a person who has a real legal rights. A national park has real legal rights. The Colombia Supreme Court has said that the Amazon rainforest in the country of Colombia is a person who has real legal rights. And Steven Wise sees these recent changes as positive steps toward broadening the definition of legal persons to include animals.

And it's a cause he's been dedicated to for nearly 40 years, ever since he read the book "Animal Liberation" by Peter Singer.

Now, I read Peter Singer's book in , when I had a full head of lush, brown hair. And indeed, I was moved by it because I had become a lawyer because I wanted to speak for the voiceless, defend the defenseless. And I'd never realized how voiceless and defenseless the billions of non-human animals are. And I began to work as an animal protection lawyer. And by , I realized that I was trying to accomplish something that was literally impossible.

The reason being that all of my clients, all the animals whose interest I was trying to defend, were legal things. It was not going to work. So I decided that the only thing that was going to work was they had - at least some of them had also become legal persons. Now, at that time, there was very little known about or spoken about truly animal rights about the idea of having a legal person or legal rights for a non-human animal.
