Before you give rights to chimps you should work out if they are capable of understanding what is being offered. Anthropomorphism isn't any way to go about helping wildlife. Chimps aren't people, they are chimps and they can't fit into our world in the same way we couldn't fit into theirs. They aren't as "like us" as a lot of people think. We should only extend personhood to people as they are capable of learning a language and communicating their needs themselves, with obvious exceptions. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote: We're getting there. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/03/science/rights-group-sues-to-have-chimp-recognized-as-legal-person.html http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/03/science/rights-group-sues-to-have-chimp-recognized-as-legal-person.html?hp
