This is quite silly but not as silly as a general movement to give human rights to animals. It’s a legal complication. They don’t want the chimp to get sold off and harmed but there is no way to donate the money because it’s not a person.

It’s a tough situation because from glancing at the title I immediately thought, what a bunch of idiot liberal nuts. But they’re trying to protect an animal in whatever way they can because they can’t do it any other way.

PETA-types are oxygen robbers. Still, he does sorta look like Alan Greenspan.

I think he should be reunited with his brother, Ahmadinejad. They would make such nice playmates together! Pan and Mookie.. aaaaah!

It’s things like fools trying to get an animal declared a person (even though it may be for an outwordly good cause) that get the “camel’s nose in the tent” for a lot worse things. If animals are declared people, that means putting your dog to sleep or even taking it out to the woods and putting it out of its misery with your trusty firearm could get you life in prison. Deer hunting might even be banned, or hunting of any kind. There is no limit to the lunacy if this ever gets traction. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time I’ve read something like this.

This is complete lunacy. These animal-fuckers will stop at nothing to blur the lines of common sense. Maybe if PETA would quit smoking dope for awhile, they’d see the forest for the trees.

Why am I also reminded of that South Park episode of PETA.
Did they get this thing right or what?

PETA can do the tree-hugging Buddist thing all they want. But they need to stop pushing their philosophy off on the rest of us.

Take a moment and see what Colonel Robert Neville thinks about the way things are going:

Why do suspect Soros/Clinton influence here?
Because chimpeople are expected to vote D’rat for the inevitable handouts.

Liberalism is a mental disorder!

But Clyde they have to protect their future constituents to keep the hijacked Dem party viable!

Yes, PETA people are the biggest nutbags of all the environmentalists. I find them frightening. The group are also guilty of many crimes and slaughter of animals by their own members. nuf said.

Okay, declare the chimp a human …

But only if Keith Olberman and Chris Matthews are declared shit-eating, shit-producing dung beetles.

Okay, I don’t torture puppies or anything, but WTF is the world coming to? What I find interesting is how most PETA people give rights to aminals more freely than they do to humans. Here’s an idea…. Why don’t these people fighting for this chimp’s “status” step up and care for the chimp themselves?

Honestly, I love animals…. they taste fabulous!

Under Austrian law, only a person can receive financial gifts.

that’s the dilemn

the animals rights activists should apply for an european court judgement ; this is the recourse we have when one country judgement is not competent ;

anyway to qualify a monkey as human is weird ;

but the monkey deserves being guaranted of good cares ; whatever the ways, I would try anything for him too ; doing so, it’s not being silly or leftist but just normal intelligent human

Just to be fair, can we also declare Harry Reid to be a chimp?

Hi,

They really have their priority’s messed up…

You think they would be working on getting Al Gore, John Edwards, ‘rosie’, hillary, etc….officially declared ‘people’ first, before they try and do it with this Monkey ‘Pan’!

I wonder what they don’t understand about the word ‘monkey’.

Too Much!

Peace!

That nice juicy hamburger is looking pretty damn good right now. Might go ahead and cook that steak later, then after that I’m gonna barbecue some ribs.

I advocate that PETA members be classified as meat on a stick as a viable source of sustinence for us meat eaters!

I couldn’t give a shit…Personally I have no beef with the animal rights like the spca (peta has been caught euthanizing hordes of domestic animals)…I have an issue with domestic animals being abandoned.

“Under Austrian law, only a person can receive financial gifts.”

Change the f*cking law to person and/or care giver, case closed.

Getting Pan rights is a very reasonable position. It means giving him basic body integrity (i.e. someone can’t beat him). It has nothing to do with the snowball fallacy of where will it end. Chimpanzees are our closest ancestors and many know sign language and can communicate their most basic needs.

Dogs and cats have some of these basic protections. It is the word ‘rights’ that gets people bent out of shape. The only rights being looked at for Pan would be the same rights that children have, so no need for the right to vote. Just the simple fact of someone looking out for his best interests.

BTW Far worse stuff goes on in factory farms than with hunting. Check out www.meat.org too!
