Declare whales and dolphins 'non-human persons', researchers say

Hey everyone,

Not sure if this was posted before but pretty interesting. Basically states that Whales and Dolphins have now showed to be very smart, smarter than we originally thought, emotional, and can communicate so I can understand their points. What do you think should they be classified as non-human persons? I think I like that idea.

I GET THEIR POINT They would just like to see these extremely old and smart species get a little more respect. If they are intelligent, can feel emotion, has memory of the past then we should not be caging them up. I believe in the grand scheme of things we should not be caging up any living being for profit. : )
