Well, they do have more sense and work a heck of a lot harder than about 47% of the people currently living in this country. I’d say that it’s a gray area.

Chimps are extremely violent and vicious.

Good. If he denies chimps are “persons” we’re a judgement away from ruling democrats are not “persons”. At least not intelligent ones.

They are not human, but what`s wrong with looking after animals, making them happy, giving them water, making sure they have shade from the heat.and making sure they are not living in horror or terror.

This will only stop when the liberals discover that chimpanzees support Republicans.

" But an assistant attorney general, representing the state university system, argued that chimpanzees are not entitled to legal personhood rights because they could not fulfill the responsibilities of people in society. "

How soon do we all think it will be when the elderly and inform are regarded in that same way? Notice the word "society" in there?

We keep you alive to serve this ship: row well, and live."

If only the chimp could talk it would say it was a human female and deserved recognition. I’m sure that all liberals would agree.

I don't think anybody's disputing that.
