“there are some pretty serious implications”....understatement. The evolution (at light speed) of the Human Rights Commission to the Mammalian Rights Commission to the Reptilo/Mammalian Rights Commission, etc. is immediately before us. The Human Rights Commission can rewrite lexicons at will, just as the US State Dept and the DHS have done with Islamic terminology. The permutations are infinite with infinite unanticipated peripheral corollaries in the offing. Definitely this is a clear example of ‘one upsmanship’ on the global warming hoax, whose success has ushered in with no hesitation this next civilizationally unadvisable step..
The Democrats will recruit anything for another vote!
Ahh, yes, Princeton U’s Professor Peter Singer’s handiwork.
Save the apes, mice, etc., but kill disabled, comatose, and mentally retarded human beings.
$8000 a month in expenses to take care of two Chimps and a croc?
Or is this poorly written and it means the whole shelter used $8000 a month for all it’s work and harboring the animals????
The chimp should be appointed Stibbe’s guardian.
“Chimpanzee should be a legal person, animal rights activists say”
Corrected Headline:
“animal rights activist should be a legal person, Chimpanzees say”
“This case is about the fundamental question: Who is the bearer of human rights? Who is a person according to the European Human Rights Charter?”
Hmmmm.... if I had to make a guess, and I’m no legal expert, but here goes nothing ...
HUMANS ?
Liberals don’t think that far ahead. They just want to “feel good” now. After their limbs are ripped off, they will sue someone/anyone.
Words used to have consistant defintions, these days they can mean whatever perverts and whackos want them to mean. For example, a mentally deranged, surgically mutilated pregnant woman is a “man”, marriage is a union between any combination of humans, and a chimp can be “human”.
I suppose it wont be long before a gay female chimp will marry a pregnant human transexual.
I thought many of them already were, and serving in Congress...
Just saying.
P. troglodytes, probably ‘animal’. P. paniscus? Hmmm....
Let em get a job and start paying taxes.
Hey, I’ve got an idea...if he’s smart enough to be a “person”, then why don’t we let him and a few of his chimp “friends” figure out how to stop global warming!:)
