科罗拉多最高法院裁定大象不是“人”, 不能要求动物园释放。 Colorado Supreme Court rules elephants are not "persons" and cannot seek release from zoo.

科罗拉多最高法院裁定,夏延山动物园的五头大象不能通过针对人类的法律行动寻求释放,因为他们不被视为“人”。 The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that five elephants at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo cannot seek their release through a legal action used for humans, as they are not considered "persons." “非人权项目”认为,大象应该被转移到一个避难所,因为有被囚禁造成大脑损伤的迹象。 The Nonhuman Rights Project argued the elephants should be moved to a sanctuary due to signs of brain damage from captivity. 动物园反驳说,搬迁可能会有压力。 The zoo countered that relocation could be stressful. 法庭裁定,只有人类才能提出这种主张,但权利团体发誓继续为大象的自由而斗争。 The court decided that only humans can make such claims, but the rights group vowed to continue fighting for the elephants' freedom.
