Perhaps the court will keep one of those "animal psychics" on retainer? You know, the nutjobs who claim they can speak with dogs, cats, horses etc. to speak for the animal in question? XDSquid94 said:

If animals can sue humans then this means that the opposite can also ring true, that being that humans can also sue animals.
Allow me to point out the following, animals should not have rights equal to humans (we are easily a superior species on the planet, we've earned the right to have rights through being dominant), there is no logic which supports the idea of giving animals legal representation.
What would an animal gain by suing a hunter that shot their reletive? Money? (how can they use it?) Justice? (I'm not sure that animals can grasp abstract ideals such as that) More rights? (we're going over the top as it is, why make the matter worse?)

This looked quite interesting. Interesting in the sense it seemed inconceivable someone in such an academic position and selected for such high office could come up with something so barking mad.syndicated44 said:
So I checked him on Wikipedia, and found the matter which this article is referring to, a book he co-wrote. There's even a link to Google books with the relevant page (11) free for anyone to read (http://books.google.com/books?id=e7FME0btkH0C&printsec=frontcover&dq=Animal+Rights:+Current+Debates+and+New+Directions&ei=RSCpSsOWJoO0zATBwfybCg#v=snippet&q=bring%20suit&f=false)
Suffice to say, the hunting & fishing magazine article is grossly misrepresenting what he wrote and the context within which it was written.
