Hawaii Supreme Court to Hear Case on Elephants' Rights

• The Hawaii Supreme Court will hear a case on whether elephants qualify as 'persons' under Hawaii law.
• The case involves two Asian elephants, Mari and Vaigai, at the Honolulu Zoo.
• The elephants' legal team argues they have the right to 'liberty' and should be released to a sanctuary.
• The court's decision will determine if the elephants can challenge their confinement through habeas corpus.
• On Thursday, Mari and Vaigai roamed around their 2.5-acre enclosure at the Honolulu Zoo.
