Question Presented (from Petition)

1. That Non-property Animals have a US Constitutional Right to be individual
"stand alone" Plaintiffs and petitioners in Courts of the United States Of America
and State Courts.

2. That Non-property Animals as "stand alone" Plaintiffs and as "stand alone
victims" of acts of animal cruelty have at the very least rudimentary US
Constitutional Rights such as Equal Protection Of Law, Due Process Of Law,
Access To The Courts, protection from Cruel And Unusual Punishment, and have
the Right to protections under the US Victim's Rights Act.

3. That "Caretakers" or anyone providing life giving support or support after death
have the US Constitutional Right to bring lawsuits on behalf of the injured animals
or deceased animals as "Next Friend".

4. That the United States Congress created a new legal "definition of beings" for
non-property animals with the creation of the Federal Animal Cruelty Law that the
Courts must consider as "persons" in the application of Federal And State Laws.

5. The Federal and State Governments are in violation of the US Constitutional
Right to Religious Freedom by enforcing their "Only Humans Matter" religion on
citizens that are of the religious belief that animals are the same as humans, feel
and suffer the same as humans, have souls the same as humans, have lives equal
to that of humans and enforcement of the "Only Humans Matter" religion causes
loss of religious freedom, injures persons whose beliefs are contrary and is Cruel
And Unusual Punishment for those who value animals the same as humans.

6. The Court violates the US Constitutional Right to Due Process Of Law with it's
abuse of Rule 12 (b)(6) of the Federal Rules Of Civil Procedure and violates the US
Constitution by denying Equal Protection Of Law with manipulations of Due
Process Of Law such as Qualified And Absolute Immunity.

7. Cats need to be added as a protected class under Hate Crime Laws and acts of
cruelty to cats by CAT Haters must be designated as a "Hate Crime" listed under
Hate Crime Laws.

Question Presented (AI Summary)
