That pun must have been intentional.

And I'm not sure I understand. They want to have the chimp declared a person so it can have a guardian to take care of it? Isn't that what we call a [censored] ZOO?

You don't get it Taso.

It all started with Reagan playing second fiddle to a chimp. Nowadays film executives, and the population at large, I hope, think it is really much easier to replace Bush with a chimp. I mean Reagan was bad, but Bush is unbeatable when it comes to monkeying.

This has absolutely nothing to do with protecting animals and is in no way a problem for AC. Protecting animals might be, stuff like this OP, absolutely not.

Your tax dollars going for the welfare of chimpanzees. I guess the eventual goal is to get them to vote. How crazy is this???
