> legal rights given to sea turtles… <
In a way, I’m happy to read this. My pet sea turtle Max has been voting straight Democrat since the 1970s. And I’ve always objected, because Max is not a human.

Taxes are next for our shelled compatriots.
That’s silly. What about the Turtle-ettes?
Do they also get to vote, pre hatch date, if need be?

all part of the same madness:

More *rights* for animals than for US citizens.
Blasphemy.
Rights are rewards for shouldering responsibilities. What responsibilities do turtles have?
These are the same Millies and Zeros who kill babies.
