Non Human People

Well done india

Non-human people the world over are cheering India’s decision to ban captive dolphin shows.
Citing tireless scientific research that has forced scientists to conclude that cetaceans – dolphins, whales and porpoises – rival our own species in terms of intelligence, self consciousness and culture, the Indian Ministry of the Environment and Forests released a statement advising state governments to reject any proposals for establishing dolphinariums.
The Declaration of Rights for Cetaceans, signed by ethicists and the world’s leading dolphin and whale researchers, calls for cetaceans to be considered “non-human people” and says they should have the right to life, freedom and not to be considered property.

India bans captive dolphin shows, says they should be considered 'non-human' people » Greener Ideal

Of course this opens us up to this

But still a great move, perhaps when we start treating the non human people here on earth with the respect they deserve, we will be ready to meet the non human people from other places

I LOVE this!!! Thank You!!!! The greatest part,

rival our own species in terms of intelligence, self consciousness and culture

...and there is no technology whatsoever in sight. More evidence that the Drake Equation is more or less, fiction.

This is great! I just spent a good amount of time looking at dolphin memes! Thanks! Now Japan and America should follow suit!
