Item description from seller

Paperback. Happy has lived at the Bronx Zoo for most of her 48 years, and for more than a decade has remained largely isolated and lonely. Like all elephants, Happy has a complex mind and a deep social, intellectual, and emotional life; she desires to make choices and has a sense of self-recognition. But like all non-human animals, Happy is considered a thing in the eye of the law, with no fundamental rights. Due to a series of ground-breaking legal cases, however, this is beginning to change, and Happys liberation is at the forefront. A vibrant and personal graphic novel, Thing: Inside the Struggle for Animal Personhood traces this moving story and makes the legal and scientific case for animal personhood.Led by lawyer Steven M. Wise and aided by some of the worlds most respected animal behaviour and cognition scientists, the Nonhuman Rights Project has filed cases on behalf of non-human animals like Happy since 2013.Through this work, they have forced courts to consider the evidence of their clients cognitive abilities and their legal arguments for personhood, opening the door for similar cases worldwide. In Thing, comic artists Sam Machado and Cynthia Sousa Machado bring together Wises ground-breaking work and their powerful illustrations in the first graphic nonfiction book about the animal personhood movement. Beginning with Happys story and the central ideas behind animal rights, Thing then turns to the scientists that are revolutionising our understanding of the minds of non-human animals such as great apes, elephants, dolphins, and whales. As we learn more about these creatures inner lives and autonomy, the need for the greater protections provided by legal rights becomes ever more urgent.With cases like Happys growing in number and spanning from Argentina to India, nations around the world are beginning to recognise the rights of animals. Combining legal and social history, innovative science, and illustrated storytelling, Thing presents a visionary new way of relating to the nonhuman world. This emotional and visually stunning graphic novel traces the arguments for animal personhood, challenging the way we relate to the nonhuman world.
