Dear friends,
you have seen that in my last blog I have commented on a rather abstract question, namely whether a river really becomes a "juristic/legal person/living entity" simply because a judge of a court declares it to be so. And I have also commented on the question of the practical significance of the court ruling for real environmental protection.
In today's blog I have commented on another such abstract discussion in the same google discussion group (in which the rights of rivers discussion took place), namely on the rights of individual non-human living beings like animals, e.g. chimpanzees, or even trees.
I have posted it on my blog site
www.eco-socialist.blogspot.com
under the title
Giving Rights to Trees, But Forgetting the Forests
I hope you would find it interesting and request you to forward it to politically interested friends and eco-activists.
With best wishes
