I post this in "News" vice "General", as while the article is just plain odd, there are some pretty serious implications to it. Particularly considering that it has not been dismissed outright by the European Court of Human Rights.

I hate every ape I see from Chimpan-A to Chimpan-Z
But they’ll never make a monkey out of me.

Why not? He’s probably smarter than most of the animal rights activists anyway.

Maybe after they grant the chimps human status, they’ll start considering unborn persons.

Would I be able to legally marry one or at least get it under my health insurance plan as a domestic partner? Can I marry more than one? Would he/she be able to qualify for Affirmative Action? If I and it are discriminated against, would that be covered as a hate crime?

I guess a free education is next. It wouldn't noticeably change the demographics of most classrooms or the behaviors of most students.

On another thread was a photo of his “Guardian”, a very cute woman. Anyone have a photo? Then I can repeat the comment I made on that thread:

“Give me a girl/Just like the girl/That this chimpanzee has”

What a Great Ape she is!

Why not treat it as property? That’s what it is, just like a dog, cat, bird or goldfish.

Seems to me all that needs to be done is transfer ownership to the interested party.

under Austrian law only humans may receive personal gifts. Austrian law also limits legal guardianship to humans.

Seems to me that a couple of minor tweaks to Austrian law re gifts and legal guardianship would be a more reasonable route to the petitioner's praiseworthy objective.
