A mountain in New Zealand is now legally recognised as a person after being granted all the rights and responsibilities of a human by the government.
The new law offers extra protection for Mount Taranaki - now known as Taranaki Maunga, its Maori name - and means it has all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of a person.
It is part of an agreement between New Zealand's government and the indigenous Maori tribes, which have long considered the 8,261ft mountain an ancestor.

Pure stupidity. If someone dies on it, is it murder?
White people from every country need to STOP APOLOGIZING for everything our ancestors. And stop giving in to the idiots calling is stolen land.
Excellent!
Now when Mount Taranaki negligently kills an underage child, we can punish Mount Taranaki by Nuking Mount Taranaki to below sea level.
New Zealanders will have ringside seats, ... whether they want them or not.
Its been Mt McKinley for over a hundred years till that renaming BS anti-white woke crap pushed democrats to rename it.
New Zealanders need to be introduced to the concept of civilization. And not just the Maori.
And NZ’s PM, Christopher Luxon, is a Conservative. Hmmm...
There is a movement to rename “New Zealand” to the Maori name “Aotearoa”.
It’s only a matter of time.
Now leftists and other insane people will demand to have sex with it
I’m guessing that the tree is about 40 years old. It has never been legally able to vote. That’s a disgrace.
The indigenous people who the Maori eradicated when....what did they call it?
Will it pay taxes?
If a corporation can be a person, why not a mountain.
The indigenous people who the Maori eradicated when....what did they call it?
Shhh, you’re not supposed to bring up those kinds of things.
I did like when the Queen visited and some Maori tribesmen gave her a 21 bum salute.
They’re too stupid to run lemonade stand, let alone a government.
In New Zealand, a “Conservative” is someone just to the right of Mao Tse-Tung.
Soon the econuts will be demanding human sacrifice to Mr. Mountain.
The western establishment has replaced God with nature and they will soon descend into the madness that came before Christianity. It is long past time to depose and chastise them.
Can it vote?
Someone should propose to it and get married to it. And then claim spousal rights and take it over.
Ridiculous and stupid. Insanity is the denial of reality.
