In 2013, the Nonhuman Rights Project filed petitions in three trial courts in the state of New York demanding that common law writs of habeas corpus be issued on behalf of four captive chimpanzees – Tommy, Kiko, Hercules, and Leo. Tommy was a privately owned chimpanzee living in a cage in a shed on a used trailer lot in Gloversville, NY; Kiko was a privately owned chimpanzee living on private property in Niagara Falls, NY; and Hercules and Leo were two chimpanzees owned by the New Iberia Research Center and loaned to the Anatomy Department at Stony Brook University for use in locomotion research. | In 2013, the Nonhuman Rights Project filed petitions in three trial courts in the state of New York demanding that common law writs of habeas corpus be issued on behalf of four captive chimpanzees – Tommy, Kiko, Hercules, and Leo.
