What th-? What is this? Legal Stunt day?

Wadapak!
The suit seeks to declare unconstitutional and unlawful the oil exploration being conducted by the Japan Petroleum Exploration Co. (Japex) in the area for allegedly endangering the mammals and putting fishermen at a disadvantage.

The petitioners include toothed whales, dolphins and porpoises, represented by their "legal guardians" environment lawyers Gloria Ramos and Liza Osorio. [Italics mine, because really, how can you not italicize that?]
Although my heart goes out to the whales, porpoises, and dolphins, this of course merits the only response available to the court aside from hysterical, uncontrollable laughter -- dismissal.
