Liberals see no difference between the sexes—we’re all the same. And see no differences between humans and animals. We’re all the same. Slugs and owls and pigs have rights too! We’re no better than them. In fact we’re intruding on “their territory”, dontchaknow. So let’s self-loathe. Just don’t pretend that unborn (human) babies have any rights. That wrecks all their stupid arguments in favor of abortions. It’s hard being liberal.
Activists Want Chimp Declared a ‘Person’

Associated Press WriterVIENNA, Austria (AP) – In some ways, Hiasl is like any other Viennese: He indulges a weakness for pastry, likes to paint and enjoys chilling out watching TV.
But he doesn’t care for coffee, and he isn’t actually a person—at least not yet.
In a case that could set a global legal precedent
[Joel points out the left’s quest for their much-vaunted Godless socialist world government to supplement the U.N., again…]
for granting basic rights to apes, animal rights advocates are seeking to get the 26-year-old male chimpanzee legally declared a “person.”
[…] “Our main argument is that Hiasl is a person and has basic legal rights,” said Eberhart Theuer, a lawyer leading the challenge on behalf of the Association Against Animal Factories, a Vienna animal rights group.
“We mean the right to life, the right to not be tortured, the right to freedom under certain conditions,” Theuer said.
[…] Austria isn’t the only country where primate rights are being debated. Spain’s parliament is considering a bill that would endorse the Great Ape Project, a Seattle-based international initiative to extend “fundamental moral and legal protections” to apes.
[…] “When you see Hiasl, he really comes across as a person,” Theuer said.
“He has a real personality. It strikes you immediately: This is an individual. You just have to look him in the eye to see that.”
