I just found an excellent video from the Animal Legal Defese league that talks about animals having basic legal rights.  I want to share this video with everyone I can since I just created and posted a petition asking for the same thing, basic legal rights for animals.  In this video different people in different positions describe why they think animals and society would benefit from giving basic legal rights to animals.  If you haven't already, please sign my petition.
