Why, because a judge wanted to hear the possible merits of a case and think about it for a while before making a decision? Wow, what a fucking whackjob.
PETA is insane anyways.

No, because a human's constitutional rights don't extend to animals. Did you completely miss that in the reading of it in school? Apparently the judge did.

He's a judge. What they do is they listen to both sides of the argument, and then decide how the law applies. If he feels the suit has no grounds, he can dismiss it. His comments clearly indicate that he has doubts about it himself.
"Pssh, that's stupid" isn't a valid legal argument to drop a suit.

Yeah, if the argument is valid enough in the first place, which it isn't. Again, going back to constitutional rights in regards to HUMANS. Since when were whales referenced in there?
Edit: Since some people can't detect sarcasm, I likely will leave the country if dogs ever get the right to vote but I won't be murdering the judge. You may continue to whine about it now.

Maybe he needs a good laugh. Maybe he's been trying some shitty cases lately and decided this one might cheer him up. I'd certainly take a case where PETA tried to convince people that Sea World is like Gitmo for whales if I'd been trying murder/rape/etc. cases lately because it should prove to be hilarious.

We should find the water on the moon and then send the whales there. They can multiply in numbers until we are ready to colonize the moon at which point we can go whaling on the moon.

It seems a few times each year PETA does something like this in order to grab publicity. Annoying.
I'll go back to eating my veal then.

It's amusing how it took the judge two days to say what I thought as soon as I read their case.

Not sure if this is true, but I hear that in their contract you have to sign that you have to be willing to sacrifice your life to save an animal...
I'm sorry, I love animals but if it's me or the cow I'm having steak for dinner.

There's no way that can be true. Or at the very least, there's no way it can be enforceable.

If they don't do that, how are people going to remember that they exist?

There is really no reason for PETA to exist. Everything they say(like not beating the crap out of animals) is something everyone already knows is wrong, so they have to say something completely bat shit to get publicly.

I couldn't read too much of that before I got completely disgusted. I mean, this is the fucking group of people who protested against Nintendo for the Tanooki suit in Super Mario 3D Land, which, in turn, came from Super Mario Bros. 3. Oh, and they kill their own dogs, too.

I have always wanted to open a nightclub and call it Club Baby Seals. That way when people go to it they will say "Let's go to Club Baby Seals."
