Maybe not since it was revealed that chimpanzees share 99% of their genes with humans.
Burn, Do you know of any civilization that fell down after giving rights to its population?

As part of the "population" apes should get the right to vote!

But do not "rights" require "responsibility"?
If a human commits a crime, he is not being a "responsible" member of society, and he loses some of his rights.
So what, will we make ape prisons and lock them up for repeat offences of public feces projectilation?[inkling]

No rights are so by birth.

Ok, fine then but labeling it as "human rights" is somewhat misleading

This is truly a great moment in human history, or something along those lines.
Too bad that the apes upon recieving these human rights will not notice, record, wonder, or care.
None will paint a simian Sistine Chapel or create some other work of art or culture in commemoration, but perhaps there will be some celebratory poo flinging.
This is incredibly, hilariously stupid. I almost thought it was an article off of The Onion.
Not to mention that Spain is a country that condones bull fighting. Hipocrisy.
The biggest downside that I can see is that future legislation will make spanking the monkey a federal offense.
Spain is going to the apes faster than I thought.

Do you really feel banning harmful experiments on apes is stupid?
