JUDGE ISSUES WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS ON BEHALF OF CHIMP

"For the first time in history a judge has granted an order to show cause and writ of habeas corpus on behalf of a nonhuman animal. This afternoon, in a case brought by the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP), Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Barbara Jaffe issued an order to show cause and writ of habeas corpus on behalf of two chimpanzees, Hercules and Leo, who are being used for biomedical experimentation at Stony Brook University on Long Island, New York."

The great guitarist Slash co-produced this song to raise awareness for Elephants. The video is very powerful, but it does contain some brutal images.
