As if we did not have enough human rights violations, now "a New York appeals court rejected ... an animal rights advocate's bid to extend 'legal personhood' to chimpanzees, saying the primates are incapable of bearing the responsibilities that come with having legal rights." Tommy the chimp of 26 years, in solitary (shed) confinement imposed by owner Patrick (s)Lavery, "should be released to a Florida sanctuary," claimed the Nonhuman Rights Project, according to an AFP report.
If only disputants in mediation cared for each other like the Nonhuman Rights Project does for Tommy. That would just be humane!
