The current depraved political class certainly likes to cater to the loony fringe. But I think it’s a purposeful alignment as actuating insane policy in law drives the culture and society a little closer to emulate the mindless herd animals the ruling elite deem us to be.
Ever wonder why the running class can’t give an unborn human the same respect/status as a scat-throwing monkey?

It is very easy to make a non-human person support any cause a human person may choose. Watch for more ‘enlightened’ states, who can’t properly run their own countries, to clutter the legal and political horizons with this kind of nonsense, just to be fashionable. Bonzo for Presidente could become a real slogan.
Isn’t postmodernism wonderful?
I wonder what the Argentinian Pope thinks about this? No, wait … maybe we don’t want to know.
now that Sandra will be freed after 27 years of captivity she’ll likely be eaten alive just like almost every other wild animal. With no early training she’ll have not learned any defenses whatsoever. good going judges.
Meanwhile, orangutan habitats in Asia have been clear-cut and the orangutans slaughtered to make room for palm-oil plantations to make “green” fuel.
Oh whats become of their brains down there in gouch land it seems to me the whole worrds going crazy and this granting rights to a oranatang is just proof This should make those jerks at PETA very happy
Well, give it a week, and we’ll have to charge them all with assault and rape of other “non-human persons”, as we all know that “Ooogabooga means oogabooga”.
My question is how do they establish on an individual or group basis if these “rangs” are responsible (knowing right from wrong) to stand trial…..a test which is also involved in whether humans are committed to institutions for their safety or the safety of others.
We already have PETA which flunks this test and the ROP…..
Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab

No h/t for my comment here?

RN sad.
Geez, even the EU courts have been rejecting claims like this. The next step is to unionize and register them to vote.
The Argentines are leading edge on so much of world concerns that this decision is not inconsequential. Now if only those pesky currency speculators can be reigned in all will be good south of 40.
Last I heard their sideways driller has been put on COD. That effort to drill towards the Moldaves is on hold I guess.
According to this list, rats, cats, dogs, pigeons, pigs and parrots are all smarter than orangutans. FREE THEM ALL!!!

On the other hand, Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” Genesis 1
Or, as the poet said:
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

yes, but what about all those poor female chimps who are stuck in male chimp bodies?
when will the transgender chimp community truly be free?

that lefty is “IN”, one does not have guess about that. So is probably about 75% of RCs, who are also lefties.
Butt I won’t worry till they give equal rites to chickens, pigs, cows and vegetables.
You made me laugh at first, but on sober reflection what could be more appropriate for our courts to tackle next?
What happens to monkeys that run away from the zoo?
The purpose is to degrade existing human rights so they can kill their countrymen/monkeys that will try to leave when they run out of money/bananas.
They can degrade your rights to those of shit throwing monkeys that require constant safe keeping.
You have the right to a banana.
Until you don’t.
Good, I say, lets elect monkeys to office and see how much they can degrade our rights, increase taxes and grow the size of gubmint.
Well, I for one welcome our Orangutan-American brothers to semi-sapience. That’s a cut-rate on the taxes, is it?
People think hundreds of indiidual Indian reserations are nations.This eqiuvalency is not much differnt. IMO.
“Good, I say, lets elect monkeys to office and see how much they can degrade our rights, increase taxes and grow the size of gubmint.”
Errrrrr. We’ve been doing that for years! The Argies are just catching up to the Yanks.
I would suggest that there’s numerous non-human persons living in or near St. Louis however that could be construed as racist.
MURDERS IN THE RUE MOURGUE by EDGAR ALIEN POE commited by a mans pet Orangatang
It’s not the way the ruling effects this one Orangutan that worries me, it’s letting the looney “animal rights” crowd get their feet in the door to “release” all dogs, cats, horses, etc. We already know that they equate pets to animal slavery.
And how long until some biped creature with no concept of humanity gets elected to, say, president of the United States…oh, wait…
Yes.
But this will mean that the Orangutans will need a Community Organizer to agitate on their behalf.
Looks like these nutcases have taken this Darwinism to all new erious sites of pure idioticy and brings to mind a line for a movie TAKE YOUR STINKIN PAWS OFF ME YOU DAMN DIRTY APE! and some sun camp songs TARZAN THE MONKEY MAN,SWING OA RUBBERBAND,RARZAN SLIPS AND TRAZAN FALLS,AND TARZAN LANDED ON HIS BALLS
