"Speciesism in Chimpanzee Habeas Case"

Interesting discussion and comments regarding a mid-level NY appeals case that denied standing as a person on as noted by one comment hand-waving assumptions. I comment more here but also like the "break it, you own it" responsibility comment. Standard simplistic view of "rights" comes up now and then, including in the "if right to have sex, why not bestiality" type threads. Ultimately, "rights" can include legal protections animals have.
