If and when a chimp can make their own argument for rights in court, without human assistance, then I'd grant them rights. Until then, no.

It's kind of an oxymoron since chimps are not human, right? I agree that they should have some rights however.

The crest of the slippery slope of humanizing non humans is looking higher than ever.

Every species on this planet should have rights, call them earthling rights not human rights.
Earthling rights? OK

I like how you didn't limit your advocacy to animals. Plants have rights too. Eating is murder. It is our duty to prevent all species on this planet from doing so. It's obviously the right thing to do.

Should it be a criminal act for me to step on an insect walking on the sidewalk, even by mistake? What about spiders in my house? Should it be criminal to just squash them, or should I get a cup and capture them and toss them outside? I probably kill somewhere in the ballpark of a few million insects every time I mow my yard, does this make me guilty of genocide? Just think about the screams of those poor insects getting choppity chop chopped up by the mower blade on a frequency humans can't hear, and even if we could, it's drowned out by the mower running.....Ever think about that? I do, because that's how my brain works.

IIRC insects don't even have pain so why would they scream?
And worst change is putting almost all bosses in new version of maps into fucking small areas, where you can't kite well or dodge stuff. What a terrible idiot invented that I want say to him: dude flick you, seriously flick you very much.

Have you ever seen an insect squirm after taking a lighter to it? If it didn't feel pain, then it wouldn't move when the lighter hits it.

Good thing we have grandfather clauses then. I'd bet a LOT of humans couldn't effectively do that.
I didn't specify that said argument need be successful. Just
1. an argument
2. for rights.

Basically: ask, and ye shall receive. Can't ask? Don't receive.
