Animals are NOT People!

While surfing the net I came across this article (thank you Google News) about some animal activists in Austria trying to get the courts to say that some chimpanzee is a person. I should have seen this coming. While living in our apartment building there were several people (young and old) who treated their pets like spoiled children. It was disgusting really. But this seems to be taking that attitude to a whole new level. It reminds me of the Walkathon for dogs which was held about a month ago in Ottawa. It raised an outrageous amount of money which was on par with some many other charity events raise for something like sick kids. People are nuts.
