Orangutan Granted Human Rights

Absolute moonbattery can only be achieved on an incremental basis. That’s why its proponents call themselves “progressives.” To see how far they have progressed already, consider that an orangutan now qualifies for human rights.

Via the BBC:

An orangutan which spent 20 years in an Argentine zoo is being moved to a US animal sanctuary after being granted the same legal rights as humans.

Lawyers won a landmark appeal for Sandra in 2014, arguing she was being detained in Buenos Aires illegally. …

Sandra was born in an East German zoo and sold to Buenos Aires in 1995.

Too bad humans born in East Germany probably don’t qualify for as many human rights as an orangutan. Near the top of the list of human rights is free speech. Sandra can express herself by crapping in her hand and flinging it at whomever she pleases. Germans who complain about demographic displacement can get prison time.

I wonder if authorities will honor Sandra’s right to bear arms…

But I’m forgetting, human rights aren’t human rights anymore. Now they are special privileges, granted by government, like the right not to be offended if you belong to a favored identity group.

Her legal victory brought international fame to the orangutan, and set a precedent for apes to be legally deemed people rather than property.

Apes are people too. Before long, California will have a quota dictating how many must serve on each corporate board.

Soon after that, they will get begin granting human rights to plants, which are also people too.
