Sarcasm?

[dowcaet]

Wow. I guess the left in Argentina is looking for new ways to pad their voting rolls. Talk about getting desperate.

[MaxMax]

Yea, and the point is that their Government views their citizens as being
no better than animals. Very insulting from a political standpoint but I doubt
most citizens will get it. They might just as well give human rights to a steaming pile of crap.

In the eyes of Argentina's courts, female orangutan Sandra is a person -- or at least worthy of rights and protections similar to those of a human being.

What about Sandra's brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, are they enjoying the same benefits as Sandra? Or, is she a special case?

Can a female orangutan read and write and defend herself in court? Or is she dependent upon a lawyer spokesperson?

Which animals are next in line for human rights - dogs, cats, other monkeys, cows, goats, etc.?

Is there not some kind of a test to demonstrate that Sandra is a person? Can she communicate, do math, write, talk, answer questions, explain why she wants human rights? Or, is this just a joke to demonstrate how corrupt lawyers in black robes can be? PETA must be happy.

And don’t forget about the Swiss government giving plants rights. Save the vegetables!

I recently visited Sandra at the zoo, coo coo ka choo.
She had the Bible open in her lap, and also a copy of Darwin’s ‘On the Origin of Species’.
Frankly I was flummoxed, so I asked her what in the world she thought she was doing.
Using Koko the gorilla as a signing interpreter, she replied, “I’m trying to figure out if I’m my brother’s keeper or my keeper’s brother.”

well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle...

[I want the USA back]

It is impossible to grant human rights to a monkey, even if one tries.

Another illusion of the left.

[SunkenCiv]

good, we needed more topics about this. ;’)

Or was it THIS NUTBAR? There are some seriously damaged units out there...

[bert]

That’s nothing

In America, a floppy eared monkey is President

[wildbill]

so she can choose her own diet, vet, and more importantly, her orang lover?

If she were in the US with the same rights, and enrolled in Obamacare, she wouldn’t be able to keep her vet.

Next up: will she finally get the right to vote?

No, but she can get an abortion.

[lee martell]

That’s her! I recognize her wide hips and righteous strut of indignation! It’s hard to tell if she’s acting or sincere. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s an act.
