According to author Ioana-Radu Motoarcae, although the idea seems ridiculous at first, what is really meant is the possibility for people to advocate on behalf of animals and to vote as representatives of fauna. In fact, it would be an extension of a practice that already exists: in the United States, for example, federal lawsuits with animal plaintiffs can be found. The author also reminds us that humans often represent the rights of children and incapacitated citizens.
