簡單敘述一下此案件：
Happy是一隻從1977年開始生活在紐約Bronx Zoo的亞洲象，她於2005年成為第一頭通過「鏡中測試（一個自我認知能力的測試，基於動物是否有能力辨別自己在鏡子中的影像而完成）」的大象。
從2018年開始，動物權利律師事務所的律師不斷代表Happy提出訴訟，主要的內容是向紐約最高法院申請 #人身保護令（ 是在普通法系下由法官受理申請所簽發的手令，命令將被拘押之人交送至法庭審查，以決定該人的拘押是否合法，為法律程序保障基本人權及個人自由的重要手段），同時引用了上訴法院助理大法官(Court of Appeals Associate Justice)就黑猩猩的權利於2018年達成的一致意見，也就是在瞬息萬變的紐約法律、公共政策發展中，許多非人動物已經開始被「#視同為人」。
他們認為Happy不應該因為身為大象就被迫接受動物園的非法關押，提出應該將她移出動物園送往elephant sanctuary。
目前，作為紐約州最高法院的紐約上訴法院已同意在周二審理重大動物權利案。
-----------------------------------------
從Bronx Zoo對Happy的飼養方式、她的成長歷史、elephant sanctuary這類機構本身的爭議到通過鏡子測試與享有人權間的關聯、在這次事件中Happy本象究竟處於何種角色……，這個案件涵蓋太多太多需要討論的議題。
但無論此案後續如何發展，都將劇烈的牽動整個圈養動物體系，值得包含寵物業者、動物研究者、畜牧業者在內的所有相關行業關注。
A Hong Kong appeals court has handed a 20-year-old student a custodial sentence in a correctional facility for vandalizing a Beijing loyalist’s office at the height of the 2019 protests. The ruling came after repeated appeals by the government for a tough penalty.

For those who were there at McDonough Gymnasium on August 4, 1994, few will forget the arrival of a 6-0 freshman guard who needed no introduction. The rumors of Allen Iverson's arrival to the Kenner Summer League were true, and by game's end, Iverson had scored 40 points. By the Sunday afternoon final, before an overflow crowd inside the gym and a crowd of those outside who could not get in, Iverson finished a combined 99 point effort in three days against some of the best collegiate talent in the city. This, of course, from a player that had not played organized basketball in over a year. The Allen Iverson years had begun. A brief profile can't do justice to tell the story of one of the greatest pure athletes ever to attend Georgetown, a man without peer in his talent over two years at the collegiate level. Just a year before his Kenner debut, few would have imagined Allen Iverson ever playing college basketball. Iverson was not only a 31 point a game guard for Bethel HS, but a football player of tremendous skill. As a quarterback and defensive back his sophomore season, he produced nearly 1,600 yards offense and 13 INT's. By his junior year, he accounted for 2,204 yards, 21 touchdowns by rush or interception, and 14 touchdown passes. In a region which has produced NFL quarterbacks such as Michael Vick and Aaron Brooks, there are those who will still say "Bubbachuck" Iverson was better than both of them. Schools such as Arkansas, Kentucky, Duke, and three dozen other top programs across two sports were vying for perhaps the greatest two-sport star the Tidewater had ever produced. When he led Bethel to the state title, someone asked what it was like to win the title. "I'm going to get one in basketball now," which he did. In late February, 1993, en route to the state title he had promised, Iverson was one of a large group of Bethel teammates at a Hampton bowling alley when a fight broke out between students from rival schools trading racial insults. Three people were hurt in the aftermath. Despite conflicting testimony from eyewitnesses and no clear evidence linking him to the crime, Iverson was one of four black students arrested. Racial tensions were heightened when the prosecutors passed on a misdemeanor assault charge and charged Iverson with three counts of felony "maiming by mob", which carried a 20 year prison sentence. Despite video evidence which did not place Iverson in the crowd at the time of the fight, he was convicted in a racially charged case. The 20 year sentence was later reduced to five, and Iverson was granted clemency by Gov. Douglas Wilder three months later, sending Iverson to a detention program at an alternative high school. (The original charges were thrown out by the Virginia court of appeals in 1995.) In the spring of 1994, with Iverson still in detention, his mother approached John Thompson with a plea to help her son get to college and start a new chapter of his life. Though Thompson had passed on a number of troubled players in the past, he offered Iverson a scholarship in April of that season, contingent upon his completion of high school and his legal release, which was granted 48 hours before his Kenner debut. By his debut in a Georgetown uniform in November 1994, Iverson had been the subject of intense national media attention. In the Hoyas' annual exhibition with Fort Hood, Iverson scored 36 points, five assists, and three steals in 23 minutes. Local columnists were in awe. "Hang his number up in the rafters," wrote Tom Knott of the Washington Times. "He's better than most of the point guards in the NBA right now."
