"A landmark ruling in New York's top court determined Happy the elephant does not have human rights.
The 5-2 ruling shoots down lawsuits seeking to attain some level of human rights for animals would have drastically changed American society.
"The writ of habeas corpus is intended to protect the liberty right of human beings to be free of unlawful confinement, it has no applicability to Happy, a nonhuman animal who is not a 'person' subjected to illegal detention," Chief Judge Janet DiFiore wrote in her ruling Tuesday."
