據(jù)Ars Technica網(wǎng)站稱，奧里克法官說(shuō)：“這是國(guó)會(huì)和總統(tǒng)的事。如果他們認(rèn)為動(dòng)物應(yīng)該擁有版權(quán)，那么我覺得按照憲法，他們有權(quán)這樣做�！�

　　Last July, another legal effort to reinterpret the rights of other primates failed to persuade ajudge. The Nonhuman Rights Project argued in a State Supreme Court in Manhattan that twoapes being held by a university for research were “l(fā)egal persons,” highly intelligent and self-aware, and should be removed to a sanctuary. The judge took the case seriously, butultimately decided that under the law, Hercules and Leo were property, not people.

　　去年7月，另一次重新闡釋其他靈長(zhǎng)類動(dòng)物權(quán)利的法律行動(dòng)也沒(méi)有贏得法官的支持。非人類權(quán)利計(jì)劃(Nonhuman Rights Project)在曼哈頓的州最高法院要求釋放一所大學(xué)拘禁的兩只用作研究的類人猿，稱它們是“法人”，具有很高的智商和自我意識(shí)，應(yīng)該被送往保護(hù)區(qū)。那位法官認(rèn)真對(duì)待這一案件，但是最終判定，依照法律，赫爾克里士(Hercules)和利奧(Leo)是財(cái)產(chǎn)，不是人。

　　Despite PETA’s setback this week, the group cast its unorthodox legal battle as a crucialstep toward enlarging the rights of animals.

　　盡管本周善待動(dòng)物組織遇到了挫折，但是該組織認(rèn)為自己的非正統(tǒng)法律訴訟是擴(kuò)大動(dòng)物權(quán)利的重要一步。

　　“We will continue to fight for Naruto and his fellow macaques,” Jeff Kerr, an attorney for PETA,said in a statement, adding “As my legal mentor used to say, ‘In social-cause cases,historically, you lose, you lose, you lose, and then you win.’”

　　善待動(dòng)物組織的律師杰夫·克爾(Jeff Kerr)在聲明中說(shuō)：“我們將繼續(xù)為火影忍者和他的同伴爭(zhēng)取權(quán)利�！彼�還說(shuō)，“就像我的法律導(dǎo)師過(guò)去常說(shuō)的，‘從歷史角度看，社會(huì)事業(yè)方面的案子，總是敗訴、敗訴、敗訴，堅(jiān)持到最后就是勝利�！�”
