Socialists: Give apes human rights

category international | animal rights | other press author Thursday April 27, 2006 14:06author by pat c Report this post to the editors

Good new for animal lovers! The Spanish Socialist Party are supporting rights for apes but it is not clear if this will include the right to vote.

Perhaps they feared a new outbreak of Gorilla warfare? Started by the Simian Bolivar Brigade, no doubt.

Full story at the link.

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." The PSOE's justification is that humans share 98.4% of our genes with chimpanzees, 97.7% with gorillas, and 96.4% with orangutans.
