Attorney seeks relief for his pachyderm plaintiffs
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Attorney Andres Gil Dominguez may have had bigger cases, but he’s never had bigger clients.
A city prosecutor’s office in Buenos Aires has authorized Dominguez to represent three elephants in captivity at a former zoo in the Argentina capital.
He’s demanding that Mara, Kuki and Pupi be transferred to a reserve abroad where they can have a better quality of life.
Gil Dominguez said Thursday that current conditions violate their rights and constitute abuse punishable by law.
