In early 2019, the Orleans Supreme Court transferred her case to the Bronx.<\/p>\n<p>For over 10 hours spread across two days in September and October of 2019, the NhRP argued in Bronx Supreme Court for recognition of Happy\u2019s right to liberty and release to a sanctuary. Both the duration and substance of these hearings were unique for arguments on preliminary motions. Justice Alison Y. Tuitt scheduled a third court date in Jan. 2020 to provide ample time to delve into the most pressing issues in Happy\u2019s case, such as who counts as a legal person with rights and why Happy must be released to a sanctuary.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the NhRP\u2019s litigation, its grassroots advocacy campaign on behalf of Happy has gained significant momentum, drawing the support of influential public figures such as Queen guitarist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B0h5pRwl4aO\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Brian May<\/a>, elected officials such as New York City Council Speaker <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yashar\/status\/1149051434308165638\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Corey Johnson<\/a>, and animal advocates in New York and around the world.
