Default Re: Court won\'t declare chimp a person

[ QUOTE ]
Group president Martin Balluch insists that Pan is "a being with interests" and accuses the Austrian judicial system of monkeying around.

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?

Not at all crazy. In fact, failure to protect animals properly like this is one of the main things that make me question the viability of anarchism.

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???

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't mind them voting as long as they also serve jury duty.
