Planet of the Apes

It's not bad enough that we are trying to legalize Same sex marriage, now we have to declare monkeys as humans? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070504/ap_on_re_eu/chimp_challenge

"Our main argument is that Hiasl is a person and has basic legal rights," said Eberhart Theuer, a lawyer leading the challenge on behalf of the Association Against Animal Factories, a Vienna animal rights group.

"We mean the right to life, the right to not be tortured, the right to freedom under certain conditions," Theuer said.

The right to life for a monkey but not a human baby. The right to not be tortured for an ape, but not for our seniors in nursing homes. (Another blog for another time) The right to freedom for a chimp but not for a Christian.
