Soon I'll have chimps suing be for libel...
humans don't even have human rights across the globe and i think we should work on that first before we start including other species into this "human rights" mix
Yeah and it's a slipery slope. Next kamels are going to have rights?

No, I don't think chimps should be granted human rights. As mentioned above, not even all humans have human rights and it's a slippery slope. As mentioned in the article, if they win the rights case (which is primarily about legal guardianship of the chimp) they want the chimp to sue a vivisection lab. Is an animal capable of that kind of action? I think these guys have their hearts in the right place - trying to 'adopt' this chimp to manage upkeep money on its behalf - their heads are wrong in arguing for human rights.
And you all wish you had Kamel rights.
