If a company or business can be a legal person, why can't a river?

My company is hoping to get out of jail fairly soon...yearning for more than just the conjugal visits with one of it's suppliers....

“We have fought to find an approximation in law so that all others can understand that from our perspective treating the river as a living entity is the correct way to approach it, as in indivisible whole, instead of the traditional model for the last 100 years of treating it from a perspective of ownership and management.”

“We can trace our genealogy to the origins of the universe,” said Albert. “And therefore rather than us being masters of the natural world, we are part of it. We want to live like that as our starting point. And that is not an anti-development, or anti-economic use of the river but to begin with the view that it is a living being, and then consider its future from that central belief.”

I 'd say this is a better development then granting the rights to be treated as a legal entity to a company.
