Court Deciding if Chimpanzee Have Human Rights
Apr 2nd 2007CarlAnimal Rights & Austria & Human Rights & Political
As I checked the news on google today this news draw my attention.
Basically an Austrian court is going to decide whether or not a certain Chimpanzee have human rights. I have to welcome this debate. It’s a great thing that it is debated if Chimpanzees’ should have human rights. I believe they do, as well as other animals too. An old post about the subject.

I have a very interesting article about the Chimpanzee and what they are realizing about this animal. What he can understand, do and learn from the human behaviour too… A lot of things, and what’s amazing is that they teach to their babies too what they have learnt from the human, so that can really change their future and the perception of this-one by the human. The artice has a lot of examples, pictures, and details about what they have discovered the last years. It’s quite amazing, I will scan it or give it to you when we meet again. I have to look for it in my things from Australia. I hope I still have it and could find it for you.

Yeah, they must have, and because chimpanzes have 99,4 % genealogical same as human have.

i dont think chimpanzis should have all the rights as humans… it would damage the society… imagine a chimp drivin a car around….. or workin at ur local mcdonalds or other restaurant. Think of how many people would be hurt or…. du dun duuuuuuun… killed.

I don’t think it would be right to give a chimpanzee all the rights of a human, they may be an intelligent animal but they are no where near as complex as us. saying all animals should have to same rights as humans is naive and there would be no point to it, as they will still be discriminated against and abused,as they can’t talk for themselves.

what does it matter how intelligent they are or how complex we are - still scratching the surface here. So we have more “pronounced” morals, ethics, even so - called free will. Do we use it properly? Stand beside yourself and see yourself, and every human, and decide for yourself who is wrong. So animals don’t have morals , huh? At least they’re not going around testing , and doing experiments on one another. Oh, and they don’t have a conscience? Poor souls. There are plenty of humans who don’t have a conscience, OR morals and don’t care what damage they do to another person. I’d rather have instincts!

In fact, Why don’t I just kill u all off right now 1 by i - would you like that - OR would you RATHER SEE A DEAD ANIMAL< and enjoy it to the hilt! We’re all different - that’s for sure.
And this is the dumbest site I’ve evr been on.

I don’t think Chimpanzees should have the same rights as humans because people apply to those rights. Its not like a chimp is going to walk up to someon an say something like ‘I dont really like you very much’ or something stupid like that. They deserve their own set of rights.
