Nonhuman Apes and Primates all across the globe deserve the same right as Homo sapiens. It makes no logical sense to denigrate our family because we happened to be the most advanced species of the extended family. In the same way transgender people deserve the same opportunity as cis-hetereotsexeual people, or different races as blacks and Hispanics deserve the same equal treatment as Caucasian folks, so do our fellow primates who share many unique perspectives on life, even if they may lack the needed intelligence that advanced the human species into the dominant life form on Earth. Let's treat our Gorillas and Chimpanzees the level of respect we give to our fellow man.
Would you extend that level of sympathy to Sasquatch as well?
