With the latest Wikileaks news, it makes some people wonder if we all are potential "April" surveillance subjects.
Humans expect privacy and shudder at the thought of government agents surreptitiously watching them through device cameras. Do animals like giraffes, elephants, monkeys and dogs deserve privacy, too? Does it matter, and do they really care if we humans look on at their day-to-day lives?
"April, a 15-year-old reticulated giraffe who lives at Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, N.Y., is expecting a calf.
Since late February, when her caretakers made available on YouTube a livestream camera feed from inside her stall, April has been viewed many millions of times. Her fame is international: The BBC deemed the birth "the most anticipated since Prince George made his appearance in 2013."
"Prosecutors have insisted they will not go easy on Dani Mathers, the former Playboy playmate who took a photo of a naked, 70-year-old woman in a gym and posted it on Snapchat.
The model has asked Los Angeles City Attorneys not to send her to jail, saying she will undergo counseling and anti-bullying courses instead.
She also said that she would go around to schools and talk about how harmful bullying is.
But prosecutors scoffed at her attempts at mercy, claiming that she never apologized to the victim in person, TMZ reported.
If convicted, she faces up to six months in jail for invasion of privacy, and a $1,000 fine."
