Are Apes People, Too?

The late "Travis", seen here in happier times.

Are you aware that some of the main cheerleaders for the birthday of Charles Darwin--such as Richard Dawkins and Peter Singer--are also the spokesmen for a plan to give great apes "human rights"?

It is grotesque mistake. Chimpanzees are not people, nor are gorillas. It is a romantic delusion borne of Hollywood fantasy and misleading "animal rights" propaganda that they are. The results can be catastrophe for all involved.

Imagine turning such tragedies into legal battles where the apes were considered to have rights comparable to those of people. But that is where scientific materialists would take us. The object is to erase the line between humans and animals.
