Dladla has become a celebrity. In addition to being interviewed by other journalists . he has also received several job of
14、fers and even a visit from Steven Sidley. the author of Entanglement. who hand - delivered his latest book to the enthusiastic reader.

21、gh for him to be a legal person . said Steven Wise. a lawyer for a group called the Nonhuman Rights Project. He also said that Tommy shouldn be removed from the Laverys home. He argued that Tommys rightswere being violated(冒犯) because he lived in a cage all on his own. And he asked that court to mak
22、e Tommy a person in order to free the chimp from his current living condition. The court is now deciding whether they are going to declare Tommy a person.

40、 their gills(鲤) which are used in Chinese medicine. will also be protected. The move is seen as the most important one in the 40 year history of Cites to protect these species.

41、way of helping to protect sharks and our oceans. said Cites Secretary General John Scanlon.
