FREE MINNIE: Connecticut Court Allows Supplemental Brief in Elephant Rights Case

Minnie is the sole surviving elephant held captive and being exploited by a Connecticut based traveling circus called the Commerford Zoo.

NHRP: ‘The Connecticut Appellate Court has granted the NhRP (Non-Human Rights Project) permission to file a supplemental brief in our second elephant rights case on behalf of Minnie, who is now the sole surviving elephant held captive and exploited in a Goshen-based traveling circus called the Commerford Zoo.

What this means is that NhRP will have the opportunity to address, in written form and at oral argument, the serious errors of law made by the Appellate Court in its decision on the first habeas corpus petition we filed on behalf of the Commerford elephants (Petition I). The objective is to urge the Appellate Court not to repeat those errors when it rules on our appeal of Judge Dan Shaban’s dismissal of our second case (Petition II).

Learn more, including why we filed two habeas corpus petitions, here. You can help by sharing Minnie’s story and completing the actions on her grassroots advocacy campaign page. The more people who know about her plight and the Commerford Zoo’s continued refusal to release her to a sanctuary, the better’. SOURCE…
