What if the monkey wants a sex change or wants to be wedded to a same-sex monkey? Since they don't have any money are they to be entitled to welfare?

[FlingWingFlyer]

It won’t be long now. You’ll be able to marry apes and monkeys in Argentina! Cool!

[DownInFlames]

Boy, do I feel like an ape./s

[harpu]

Hell, why not!?! Here in the U.S., we put a whole family in the White House and are covering their room and board!!!

[SampleMan]

What human responsibilities go with those rights?

Can apes now be charged with crimes? When do they start paying taxes?

[longtermmemmory]

How far can this be taken? If a non-human can be a person entitled to protection, does a developing non-human have entitlement to protection?

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

A court here in the US heard a similar case and ruled that the chimp in question is not a person.

However bad things get here, at least it's not as bad as Argentina!

[onedoug]

[DPMD]

So, what are they going to do? Set her free? She won’t last long. She’ll be free and dead.

But at least some people can feel good about themselves, right? And isn’t that what’s really important?

[piasa]

Waterparks aquariums zoos and circuses should rename themselves ‘sanctuaries’ right now...
