Dear John,

Today history was made for nonhuman animals when the New York Court of Appeals became the highest court of an English-speaking jurisdiction to hear a case demanding a legal right for a nonhuman being. The message we sent inside and outside of the courtroom today was loud and clear: The time has come to recognize and protect elephants’ right to liberty.

Please watch and share widely the recording of the full event, including the pre-hearing speech made by NhRP Founder and President Steven M. Wise, the court hearing, and post-hearing remarks, by heading to FreeHappyNow.com [[link removed]] .

You can also read the remarks prepared and delivered by NhRP Attorneys Monica Miller and Elizabeth Stein outside the courthouse in Albany immediately following the historic hearing to #FreeHappy from the Bronx Zoo to a sanctuary here [[link removed]] .

Thank you so much to each and everyone of you who joined us today, in person and virtually from all around the world. We were truly touched by the outpour of compassion and support we received in person outside of the courthouse and through your messages online. Please continue to support the mission and work of the NhRP by donating today [[link removed]] , so that we can challenge the legal barriers that stand in the way of freedom for nonhuman animals for as long as it takes.

With gratitude,
Mickey Suzuki
Development Director, the NhRP
