Organizations that represent an agenda try to keep their issue in the news. The question is whether PETA filed that suit seriously thinking animals have constitutional rights or whether it's a publicity stunt to increase donations.
I'm not a big fan of caging wild animals but everybody has to realize that giving animals constitutional rights would set precedents that would bring havoc to our legal system. The way it should work is for governments to pass laws to protect animals that can't speak for themselves, not expect them to come in court and testify on their own behalf.
