The Colorado Supreme Court will soon decide whether animals have bodily liberty and whether a “next friend” can file a lawsuit on their behalf. A lawsuit filed by the Nonhuman Rights Project will be heard by the court on Oct. 24.
“Next friend” refers to a person or organization who represents another party in court.
“I was just there yesterday. It’s such a small exhibit on the side of the mountain,” said Courtney Fern of the NhRP.
