BBC News - Court in Argentina grants basic rights to orangutan
I'm uncertain as to whether this is a first, but it's certainly significant nonetheless! Of course, it could be appealed, but I see this as a step forward in the fight to recognize that it is not only humans that can be accurately regarded as "persons" or as beings that desire freedom and to be free from harm!
This is the dumbest ruling ever made by a court in history. only a idiot would find in favor of this. of course this has no bearing on US law at all.
