Or Florida woman?
My sources in Florida have told me that the orangutan has already registered as a Democrat, and has successfully applied for welfare benefits. Ain’t America great!
Looking for the gorilla his dreams, so they can make a chimp off the old block.
Orange Female - good. Orange Man - bad.
Some wackos have proposed giving animals rights. This will fire them up and they will be demanding that all animals have rights.
What next?
Marriage between orangutans and humans?
Full voting rights for apes?
An ape running for president? “First Simian President”?
Class action suit: cows against McDonalds.
It’s insane out there and getting insaner.
"Dr. Zaius, welcome to The View."
Excuse me, but if this orangutan has human rights, he or she will just have to wait on line with other persons having human rights wanting to come to this country, or else be deported as an illegal alien.
Smart ape. Moving to a state without an income tax.
The leftwingnuts are going to use this already-litigated ‘person’ as precedent to undermine our court system ...just watch.
The animal rights crowd is really bad down here in Florida. [What they are really about is limiting property rights but that won’t fly on the ballot so they use animals as their foot in the door.]
I guarantee that the move taken in Argentina had little to do with Argentina but was always considered a launchpad for shots aimed at the US constitution.

The ruling doesn’t turn Sandra loose on the streets, mind you. It merely transports her from the zoo to a sanctuary. Is that liberty? She’s an adult “person,” after all. At 28, she’s more than old enough to drive and purchase liquor. Maybe she’d rather be living the high life in downtown Buenos Aires, flitting around the big city like a hairy Marlo Thomas. Yet champions of “non-human person” rights think nothing of inhibiting her freedom to do so.
Sandra’s case demonstrates that “non-human persons” can only be elevated so far. In order to equate them with real people, the status of people must be lowered on the other end of the pulley. Hence, liberty is no longer anything more than captivity under more comfortable conditions. The ramifications for “human persons” ought to be obvious. If being kept and provided for is “liberty” enough for Sandra, then why not for you and me?
It’s true that no court in the United States has yet granted personhood to a non-human, but it may be only a matter of time. Remember that in Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court conceded that its decision must be reversed if it is ever concluded that the human unborn are “persons.” To defend the legality of abortion, liberal judges have since had to play dumb about the most elementary facts of life. Their problem may now be solved, simply by adopting a pseudo-scientific paradigm that empowers them to decide who is or is not a “person.”
Justice Stephen Breyer advocates the use of foreign precedent in interpreting American law, and lots of other liberal judges agree with him. Next time the question of legal personhood comes before the U.S. Supreme Court, Sandra’s case could actually be used to justify changing the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments’ definition of “person,” to the exclusion of whole classifications of actual human beings. ...
It’s no coincidence that the same Peter Singer who wrote Animal Liberation also co-authored Should the Baby Live?: The Problem of Handicapped Infants. The argument for legally treating animals like people is really just a thinly-veiled excuse for treating people like animals.

Naples Man Arrested at Bank Claims He’s CIA Director, Half Orangutan
Naples News ^ | February 19, 2012
Posted on 2/20/2012, 2:37:33 PM by nickcarraway
A Naples man is accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after an incident Friday outside a bank, where he told deputies he was half orangutan and needed to call the “Fusion Center” to ask about his monkey blood.
Collier County sheriff’s deputies arrested 51-year-old Mark Loescher, of the 1100 block of Reserve Way Boulevard, outside the Wells Fargo Bank at 5094 Airport-Pulling Road N. A woman there said a man in a green car pulled out a gun after she told him his vehicle was smoking.
Deputies said they responded to the bank shortly before 5 p.m. to find Loescher still sitting in the driver’s seat of the green car in front of the bank. A woman was in the front passenger seat.
Deputies pulled Loescher over and had difficulty making him comply with their orders to exit the vehicle and place his hands on the window, get off his phone and get on the ground.
In addition to monkey blood, Loescher repeatedly told deputies he was the director of the CIA and later told them he was Elvis Presley’s brother and a good friend of “President Bush” with whom he shares an attorney.
Deputies reported they found a gun and bullets in Loescher’s vehicle but no identification to show a connection to the CIA. Loescher’s passenger was released.
Loescher was taken to the Naples Jail Center for booking.
So they test apes for hep but not restaurant workers?
Another weird one.
Judge Declares Chimp Has Rights, Sets Her Free From Zoo In ...
https://www.sunnyskyz.com/good-news/2152/Judge...
Apr 11, 2017 · For several years, the Association of Animal Rights Officials (AFADA) in collaboration with the Great Simian Project of Spain and Brazil have fought for the freedom of Cecilia the chimp who remained alone after the death of her two companions at the Mendocino Zoo in Argentina.
Orangutans are not noted for being sociable. But whatever, let's virtue signal.
Just think of how many starving socialists could be fed with the money spent on this beast. Fair amount of meat too.
This was predicted, and I believe is happening elsewhere. Slippery slope . . .

. . . Don’t blame the Martians. The human race would have developed plasto-biology in any case.
Look at the older registered Kennel Club breeds—glandular giants like the St. Bernard and the Great Dane, silly little atrocities like the Chihuahua and the Pekingese. Consider fancy goldfish.
The damage was done when Dr. Morgan produced new breeds of fruit flies by kicking around their chromosomes with X-ray. After that, the third generation of the Hiroshima survivors did not teach us anything new; those luckless monstrosities merely publicized standard genetic knowledge.
Mr. and Mrs. Bronson van Vogel did not have social reform in mind when they went to the Phoenix Breeding Ranch; Mr. Van Vogel simply wanted to buy a Pegasus. He had mentioned it at breakfast. “Are you tied up this morning, my dear?”
“Not especially. Why?”
“I’d like to run out to Arizona to order a Pegasus designed.”
“A Pegasus? A flying horse? Why, my sweet?”
He grinned. “Just for fun. Pudgy Dodge was around the Club yesterday with a six-legged dachshund—must have been over a yard long. It was clever, but he swanked so much I want to give him something to stare at. Imagine, Martha—me landing on the Club ‘copter platform on a winged horse. That’ll snap his eyes back!”
She turned her eyes from the Jersey shore to look indulgently at her husband. She was not fooled; this would be expensive. . .
