Non-humans cannot own anything. Where this is going is “rights” for animals. In about 40 years animals will be able to “own” things and property. They will be able to sue humans. They will be able to vote. They will be able to hold public office.
This will happen. No doubt about it. Maybe not in 40 years, but it will happen.
They (animals) will be able to hold public office.
That’d be an improvement over the current Congress.
