I wonder if the Australian, Peter Singer, was involved in this attempt? He is a professor at Princeton University which is not too far away. He was involved in a The Great Ape project to include the rights of apes in the Spanish legal system, so he might have been involved in the US case.
Oh well, better luck next time. Meanwhile I'm going off to the chimpanzee court to be recognized as a monkey. I've always liked bananas.
Whoever moved to have chimpanzees recognised as humans, he/she may well be a chump, if not a chimp.
