A horse, represented by the Animal Legal Defense Fund, is suing its former abusive owner for $100,000 in economic damages and its future costs of care.
According to the Animal Legal Defense Fund, Justice, an 8-year-old horse, is suing Gwendolyn Vercher to recover the costs of its ongoing medical care and its pain and suffering.
If Justice wins the case, it will be the first lawsuit to establish that animals have a legal right to sue their abusers in court.
