Because five mammals are not human, they do not have legal right to challenge detention, rules top state court

The ruling from the Colorado supreme court follows a similar court defeat in New York in 2022 for an elephant named Happy at the Bronx zoo in a case brought by an animal rights group. Rulings in favor of the animals would have allowed lawyers for both Happy and the elephants at the Cheyenne Mountain zoo in Colorado Springs – Missy, Kimba, Lucky, LouLou and Jambo – to pursue a long-held legal process for prisoners to challenge their detention and possibly be sent to live in an elephant sanctuary instead.
