The Nonhuman Rights Project is a law practice focused on securing legal rights for nonhuman animals in the United States. Its work challenges the traditional status of animals as mere property, arguing for recognition of fundamental rights based on liberty, autonomy, equality, and fairness. The organization pursues legal action, including writs of habeas corpus, to challenge confinement of captive animals and expand personhood for certain nonhuman entities. Based in Coral Springs, Florida, the group serves a national audience through advocacy and litigation aimed at expanding protections for animals in captivity. The organization operates as a civil rights-focused nonprofit with a stated goal of transforming the legal framework governing nonhuman animals, and has reported activity including lawsuits and campaigns related to elephants and other primates.
