Selfie Suit

No,not an outfit a person wears while taking a selfie! A macaque monkey who took a selfie with a camera a photographer had set up to take pictures of the monkeys is now being represented by PETA in a suit over copyright rights. PETA claims that the law does not specify species but clearly states the copyright is not property of the camera owner but belongs to whoever took the photo. It seems equally clear to me that PETA is spending way to much time (and probably money) on something that is in no way beneficial to the animal in question (the monkey's name is Naruto)or animals in general. It appears to be nothing short of a plea for headlines and not the kind of press animal lovers will be impressed with. Shame on them.
