I've heard it said that chimps can function intellectually at the level of a six-year old child - at least. IMO, they should rights to life and liberty recognized and be allowed to live out the rest of their lies in sanctuary. That's the least respect and dignity that could be allowed to them.
Walking, talking chimpanzees may be TV comedy gold but now three courts in New York are being asked to recognize four chimps as “legal persons” with fundamental rights.
The move would allow the animals to be released into sanctuaries where they could live out the reminder of their days in freedom, says the Nonhuman Rights Project, which is behind the initiative.
