Socialists: Give apes human rights
Spain Herald

Spanish President Jose Maria Aznar at a morning press conference.
 

The Spanish Socialist Party will introduce a bill in the Congress of Deputies calling for "the immediate inclusion of (simians) in the category of persons, and that they be given the moral and legal protection that currently are only enjoyed by human beings." The PSOE's justification is that humans share 98.4% of our genes with chimpanzees, 97.7% with gorillas, and 96.4% with orangutans.

The party will announce its Great Ape Project at a press conference tomorrow. An organization with the same name is seeking a UN declaration on simian rights which would defend ape interests "the same as those of minors and the mentally handicapped of our species."

According to the Project, "Today only members of the species Homo sapiens are considered part of the community of equals. The chimpanzee, the gorilla, and the orangutan are our species's closest relatives. They possess sufficient mental faculties and emotional life to justify their inclusion in the community of equals."

I don't doubt they have mental faculties superior to your average Spanish socialist, who come accross as a tad 'mentally handicapped' themselves.


Spanish judge Juan del Olmo gives a traditional Simian hand jesture to reporters. 

For the record I want it know that I will debate ANY simian regarding his or her alleged rights to be considered human. Maybe Planet of the Apes wasn't fiction after all?

Italics Mine

While trying to find the name of any Spanish judge I just learned that the Basque 'separatists' (ETA) are actually marxists supported and trained by Algerian Muslims. The ETA has obtained weapons, safe houses, and other logistics support from Islamic networks in Europe.

The idiot press call them 'separatists' in search of a home land. Sheesh.
