They caved after the Madrid bombings, so I guess this was the next step.

This is what Baracky and his monkey god call a Good Day.

Someone alert Charlton Heston: It has begun.

Lisa: Lol, those damn dirty apes!
A trail blazed with ape shit, apparantly.
Comment by Roboc on 6/26 @ 12:50 pm #
No more monkeying around in Spain.
Comment by Karl on 6/26 @ 12:54 pm #
Yet Spain will still allow apes to be detained in zoos.
GITMOPHOBES!!!
Comment by Ouroboros on 6/26 @ 12:55 pm #
Loaded question of the day;
Q: So why are Apes deserving of more rights than a Dolphin, or a Whale.. or a Spotted Owl?
A: They’re not.. They all deserve the same rights as humans.. but , of course, more rights than unborn humans..

LOL!!!
By the by, the noted philosopher Peter Singer is involved. Didn’t he advocate post-partum abortion, maybe up until age three?
Comment by Rob Crawford on 6/26 @ 12:58 pm #
Will they receive the right to vote? To enter into contracts? Will they receive welfare payments?
Will they be considered full citizens — not just of Spain, but of the EU?
Or is this just a load of crap to be tossed around as needed?
Comment by Ouroboros on 6/26 @ 1:00 pm #
“Keeping an estimated 315 apes in Spanish zoos will not be illegal, but supporters of the bill say conditions will need to improve drastically in 70 percent of establishments to comply with the new law.”
I take it this means the Apes will be given Internet Access, TV, girlie mags, pizza at least once a week and presumably Korans and prayer mats if they request them….
Do they get court appointed lawyers to handle their Habeas Corpus petitions as well?

I think it’s actually referred to as the 39th trimester! I could be wrong, ladies?

What is the law?

Ape must not kill Ape!
Comment by Karl on 6/26 @ 1:13 pm #
Not to eat human flesh, but beyond that, it’s pretty wide open.
Comment by Sdferr on 6/26 @ 1:24 pm #
It is entirely appropriate to recognize that the great apes have an inherent right to life, freedom and not to be subject to torture. This is a good thing to do. I hope it will be done here in the US soon as well.
Comment by Mikey NTH on 6/26 @ 1:32 pm #
Yet pestering bulls is still permitted.
Comment by happyfeet on 6/26 @ 1:45 pm #
I didn’t know we had rampant ape torture here in the states. I can see how this might be a problem in Spain.

This all sounds fine and dandy until a family of gibbons buys the house next to you and ruins your property value.

Monkey Business
Comment by dicentra on 6/26 @ 2:27 pm #
Oh, I’m all over this. I published a paper once about El palacio de los monos, a play by Spaniard Luis Riaza.
Unfortunately, I remember almost nothing about either the play or the paper that I wrote. It’s not online, and I’m pretty sure it was a load.
It was a crummy play, besides. I think it got produced maybe once.

Simian Justice!

I was hoping you were talking about soccer results

Don’t forget that Ricardo Montalban played the race-traitor Armando in Escape from the Planet of the Apes.
And he’s — wait for it — Spanish! (well, technically, Mexican. Same thing, right?) It’s all happening, just as the Holy Pentalogy predicted!
Seriously, I do think that apes should have the right to be treated better than, say, cockroaches or even mice. I think they’re close to smart enough to suffer like we do, is all I’m sayin’.

I hope they’re not still using real Corinthian leather.

Dan,
The “Fuck Obama” spammer is at “O! Bhama! They’re STILL After His Lucky Charms! [Dan Collins]“

Thanks, Karl.

No prob.

Historically speaking, I think that it was Caligula who inducted his favorite horse to the Consulship of Rome. How long until a Socialist Monkey takes the rotating presidency of the EU?

McCain should have thought of this for his batteryprize.

Back on topic: kill the chicken, let the monkey watch.
Comment by kelly on 6/26 @ 5:21 pm #
Speaking of simians, anybody recall the story about four years ago when some chimps escaped from a zoo, attacked some hapless guy and ripped his nuts off?
Think of it as a cautionary metaphor.
Comment by The Lost Dog on 6/26 @ 5:48 pm #
HOLY SHIT!
But at least it’s comforting to know that America is not the only country shooting down the trail into insanity.

Didn’t you mean “Koreans”?

What about the apes that aren’t so great? Where do you draw the line?
Comment by lee on 6/26 @ 7:54 pm #
I don’t know guys, I see a certain…symmetry.
American courts give terrorists citizen rights,
Spanish Parliament gives apes human rights…
You see where tis is going, right?

- Which of course brings into question any given apes:

“Spanish parliament to extend rights to apes:
Women, Children, Minorities Hardest Hit.”
FIXED the headline.
