Socialists: Give apes human rights
The Spanish Socialist Party will introduce a bill in the Congress of Deputies calling for "the immediate inclusion of (simians) in the category of persons, and that they be given the moral and legal protection that currently are only enjoyed by human beings."
Not too surprising when you think about it.

Care about what those idiots think or do? NO. I just think it's funny.
You aren't taking this nonsense seriously I hope? Giving apes human rights is rather nutty wouldn't you say?

I find the whole thing ridiculous and funny. But there is a kernel of truth there, which is WHY it's absurd. I guarantee if "apes' rights" became widespread someone would be pushing for interspecies marriage. It's the logical next step.
A lot of things that are true are also absurd and funny. Humans are whacky creatures. I try not to take things too seriously. What's the point?

which appears to be limited to only you ASSUMING anything stated in this entire thread supports the Spanish Socialists.
Sit back, relax, have a banana.

Reading up on your posts I think you're rather serious. What I wonder is where you got that from. A link would be good for a change.

I predicted a future possible event. Why would there be a link to it?
Making no sense at all.

oil but no refineries, chimps can vote in the US, but not get married in the US

just use your favorite search engine and search for "gay marriage" with "perversion" with "bestiality" with "liberal" with "democrat" (everything bolded including the quotes)
Should keep you busy with the links you desire for hours - if you don't want them quit asking.

just this subject. It is her expert opinion backed by her 46 years of study that all the higher Apes, Gorillas, Chimps and Bonobos, and Orang-Utans are sentient, reasoning species, and deserve to be considered as such. Perhaps not human but deserving of survival and respectful treatment the same as people. They have societal arrangements and communicate among themselves clearly enough that an experienced observer can deduce what is being communicated.
Since they're losing their habitat and are being driven to the edge of extinction with extreme rapidity, I don't see much wrong with this The current habitats should be connected and turned into a preserve with the people living in the areas as the trustees and the beneficiaries of tourism brought in by the Chimps Gorillas. In particular, the Bush Meat trade should be stamped out at least insofar as it targets endangered species. There are now restaurants in Europe serving Bush meat, which isn't helping either. That may be the source for the Spanish legislation.
