A lawyer seeking to free two chimpanzees from a state university told a judge Wednesday that their confinement for research purposes is akin to slavery, the involuntary detention of mentally ill people and imprisonment. Steven Wise, an attorney with the Nonhuman Rights Project, told Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Barbara Jaffe in a nearly two-hour hearing that Hercules and Leo are "autonomous and self-determining beings" who should be granted a writ of habeas corpus and be moved from Stony Brook University on Long Island to a sanctuary in Florida. "They're essentially in solitary confinement," Wise told the judge before a crowd of about 100 people packed into the Manhattan courthouse's ceremonial courtroom. "This is what we do to the worst human criminal."

Articles like this make me want to shoot a few extra animals this hunting season. The government wants to weaken the sheeple by making them all think they are equal... and the sheeple weaken themselves by thinking animals and sheeple are equal. The animals on my wall are proof... we ain't equal.
Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
So Dahmer - who had humans on his wall - was superior to his victims? What kind of scumbag are you? And, no I don't believe in animal rights - just commenting on how illogical you are. Did you go to college? Read any books on philosophy? Are you just a caricature of a talk show radio listening fool?
We, as humans AREN'T ALL EQUAL... and yes, it's obvious that Dahmer was superior to his victims or they wouldn't have ended up being homo hamburgers. You should read books, Dahmer didn't hang his victims on his wall, he froze most of them. Just because the facts I TEACH you hurt your little over sensitized feelings (a libtard evolved trait)... doesn't mean what I say is wrong, untrue or not factual. Toughen up... or someone might put you in their freezer.

Well, not exactly "free" them. He wants to move them to a sanctuary in Florida. Basically a bigger cell. If he wins, I say we should file a lawsuit to free them from the sanctuary.
The judge ought to put this lawyer in solitary confinement for wasting the court's time with this frivolous and downright stupid lawsuit.
Bonzo for president in 2016! Oh - yeah. We already went there didn't we? But hey, we could do a lot worse than if we reincarnated
You are like a creepy weirdo.
Yes, we are, for what counts.
Is NYC already looking for a new Mayor? They could,and have done worse than a chimp.
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Wait till Dems give them the vote
Perception is subjective... but the reality is, if we were the only two survivors of a plane crash and there was only enough food and shelter for one of us... your educated, soft, liberal, over sensitized self would be lifeless before you even realized you were in danger.

I feel sorry for your wife.
I am not soft nor a liberal and killing an American and getting away with it is sport overseas and a much welcomed passtime.
FRCP Rule 11 sanctions should work.
You are both.

You are both. Yes, all who don't agree with a pig like you are soft or liberals. I mean pig as in someone who is uncouth not so much a cop pig.
If I let a chimp murder me and scrap my brainz out will the chimp be convincited of evil and cross-murdering or the rights will protect the chimps?

“Truth is treason in the empire of lies.” - Ron Paul
Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
