Give orcas legal rights to protect their habitat


Give orcas legal rights to protect their habitat
The Issue
Orcas need legal rights to protect their habitat.
Tell our government to grant the orcas legal rights under Rights of Nature Legislation. Legal rights are extended to non-person entities such as corporations and it's time we began the process of extending legal rights to the sentient beings which share our planet. When a corporation, which exists only on paper, can use the power of the state to enforce actions detrimental to sentient beings, we need to grant the sentient beings a voice in the legal system.
Until Orcas have equal rights with corporations, they cannot be properly protected under our laws.
Help us secure legal rights for orcas.
