lawsuits on behalf of the chimps claiming they were ‘nonhuman animals’

Now that's an Oxymoron.

Question: Does a four and a half year old child vote, or drive an automobile, or write letters to his grandmother?

There is a reason chimpanzees, or any other of the great apes, are not accepted into polite human society. They have the mental endowment, when mature, of perhaps a very low-level idiot, and lack even the linguistic capabilities of the human child, whether they have opposable thumbs or not.

But they are very good at being chimpanzees or other great apes, and for this, they have been fitted well. A high degree of balance and natural gymnastic capabilities, and tremendous upper-body strength, make adaptation to living in trees or descent to the ground and ranging in troop over a territory no great stretch for these specimens, and they do have highly developed social structures (a learned behavior, but unique to each species of apes and not at all compatible with human society).

I have an eleven-month-old grandson who tries to do that to me.

Adult male Chimps average 5'6” and 150 pounds. They are extremely strong and aggressive. Perhaps the author should spend some time in a closed room with a couple of wild males. As you say he my well change his mind.
