Well,I'm no lawyer,or Judge.

I always thought that to have rights,you must be able to respect the rights of others.

Here's an old song I like;)

So, it starts...

[ClearCase_guy]

Soylent Green — now with more chimps.

[Steely Tom]

Habeas Chimpus?

[equaviator]

Not people?

[Daffynition]

My lawyer has to see this...

[PeterPrinciple]

I wonder if they quoted Heinlein in the legal arguments:

[Popman]

Amazing, this even got to a court of law...

[onedoug]

...as it refused to order the release of two of the animals to a primate sanctuary.

I would think it a matter of how well they are currently being kept. Are they being properly fed? Do they have sufficient room to roam, play. Are they receiving proper veterinary care?, etc.... And is the area they are in now, properly zoned for such upkeep?

[DoughtyOne]

If animals are going to be kept in captivity, I do want to see them treated humanely and given a place to exist where they can roam in a scaled down version of the wild.

This is particularly important for larger animals and ones with a higher intellectual state of being.

As far as calling them human, get real. That’s just nonsense.

Many zoos have improved their exhibits and I like that.

[Secret Agent Man]

Well until the chimps themselves hire lawyers, pay them, explain their grivances, and demand their day in court for emancipation,

The leftard ecofreaks can just stfu. Because now its just all speculation and hearsay, and therefore frivolous and a deliberate waste of the courts time and money.

[Two Kids' Dad]

Many perverted leftists are going to have to keep their chimpophilia in the closet for a while longer.

Get back to me on this when chimps write documents starting with “We The People.”

[Gator113]

But the shared capabilities “do not translate to Liberals, media and Politicians, capacity or ability, like humans, to bear legal duties, or to be held legally accountable for their actions,” .....

Release the monkeys and lockup the real scum sucking feral infestation of our society.

[Arthur McGowan]

I don’t see any chimps writing legal briefs.
