I'd like to have you look at this pencil.

法助動詞 B1

And so are books you might have
or the cars you own.

The great apes that you'll see behind me,

I can do whatever I want
to my book or my car.

The photographs are taken by a man
named James Mollison

who wrote a book called
"James & Other Apes."

And he tells in his book
how every single one them,

who saw his mother and father
die before his eyes.

So for centuries, there's been
a great legal wall

that separates legal things
from legal persons.

On one hand, legal things
are invisible to judges.

They don't have
the capacity for legal rights.

On the other side of that legal wall
are the legal persons.

Legal persons are very visible to judges.

They have the capacity
for an infinite number of rights.

Right now, all nonhuman animals
are legal things.

has never been, and is not today,
synonymous with a legal person.

Humans and legal persons
are not synonymous.

there have been many human beings
over the centuries

Women, children,
were sometimes legal things.

Indeed, a great deal of civil rights
struggle over the last centuries

has been to punch a hole
through that wall and begin to feed

these human things through the wall
and have them become legal persons.

Now, on the other side are legal persons,

but they've never only been
limited to human beings.

There are, for example, there are many
legal persons who are not even alive.

we're aware of the fact
that corporations are legal persons.

a court held that a Hindu idol
was a legal person,

held that the holy books
of the Sikh religion was a legal person,

there was a treaty between
the indigenous peoples of New Zealand

and the crown, in which it was agreed
that a river was a legal person

when I had a full head
of lush, brown hair,

because I had become a lawyer because
I wanted to speak for the voiceless,

and I'd never realized how voiceless
and defenseless the trillions,

And I began to work
as an animal protection lawyer.

And by 1985, I realized that I was trying
to accomplish something

all the animals whose interests
I was trying to defend,

that the only thing that was going to work
was they had, at least some of them,

had to also be moved through a hole
that we could open up again in that wall

and begin feeding the appropriate
nonhuman animals through that hole

onto the other side
of being legal persons.

Now, at that time, there was
very little known about or spoken about

about the idea of having legal personhood
or legal rights for a nonhuman animal,

and I knew it was going
to take a long time.

And so, in 1985, I figured that it
would take about 30 years

before we'd be able to even begin
a strategic litigation,

long-term campaign, in order to be able
to punch another hole through that wall.

It turned out that I was pessimistic,
that it only took 28.

So what we had to do in order
to begin was not only

to write law review articles
and teach classes, write books,

but we had to then begin
to get down to the nuts and bolts

So one of the first things we needed to do
was figure out what a cause of action was,

And a legal cause of action
is a vehicle that lawyers use

to put their arguments in front of courts.

It turns out there's
a very interesting case

that had occurred almost 250 years ago
in London called Somerset vs. Stewart,

whereby a black slave
had used the legal system

and had moved from a legal thing
to a legal person.

I was so interested in it that I
eventually wrote an entire book about it.

James Somerset was an eight-year-old boy
when he was kidnapped from West Africa.

and he was sold to a Scottish businessman
named Charles Stewart in Virginia.

Now, 20 years later, Stewart
brought James Somerset to London,

and after he got there, James decided
he was going to escape.
