Court Claim: Chimps Are People, Too

LiveScience.comThu May 29, 9:55 AM ETMatthew, a 26-year-old chimp, is headed to court in Europe as part of a human effort to classify him as a person.
Beyond the legal challenges, anthropologists say chimpanzees are not humans, though without a clear definition of what it means to be human, backing that claim up is a challenge perhaps fit for some great courtroom drama. (continue...)
The key to the entire incipience of this argument comes in the first line of the story... Perhaps unconsciously -- or maybe... nay... hopefully, completely on purpose-- the reporter regards the human fighting for the rights of this monkey, Paula Stibbe, as an imbecilic Neanderthal. Her stunningly vacuous thoughts were somehow, unbelievably, motivated into action.
Matthew, a 26-year-old chimp, is headed to court in Europe as part of a human effort to classify him as a person.
A human effort?!! for a chimpanzee to be considered a person? There have been some nasty moments in human history when it comes to getting recognition as persons. But each of these gruesome and violent fights have been fought by the individuals wanting the right. Is the chimp fighting the fight? If so, what does he think about all this?
"Everybody who knows him personally will see him as a person," Stibbe told the Evening Standard.
Ms Stibbe, you are a certifiable idiot. Oh, there will be a movie made about this, I am sure. How many girlfriends has he had? How many books has he read? How many seconds did you think about it before making the decision to go to court on this?
As a 26-year-old, being granted the title of 'person' would give this monkey the right to vote, run for office, own property, receive health care, etc. And not just this monkey... it would set a precedent that would spread all over the European Union. Imagine that... Look! Sarkozy's deputy has a tail!
What happens when Matthew wants emancipation from his legal guardian because her blockheadedness is causing him concern?
Everyone involved in this entire debacle is a primate for considering this. Take care of the animal. Get him a home. Feed him. Give him a happy life. Don't give him a social security card.
yup... a person
