I'll never forget something Limbaugh said once on the subject of "Animal Rights",to paraphrase,(in order have to rights,you must have the ability to respect the right of others).

I don't think the lion has much respect for the rights of the gazelle.

They do what they do,they are animals.

[shineon]

It's about time.

[mountaineer1997]

This conservative salutes this decision. It is about time to recognize the rights of fellow animals on this small planet.

Thank you, Spain.

It won't be long before apes are granted the right to vote and even run for president.

'They do what they do,they are animals.'

The same could be said of Muzzies and Democrats......

[ari-freedom]

Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!

[M203M4]

Will they now spend their days living in government housing, sucking welfare, always drunk and/or high, killing eachother, and fathering dozens of illegitimate offspring? Socialists seem to promote that sort of lifestyle for their vote suppliers.

[isrul]

Nah.they don't care about marrying just breeding.

[DoughtyOne]

That’s one small step for apes, one fall flat on the kisser for mankind.

Europe, ape’s last hope on planet earth.

The U.S., man’s last hope on planet earth.

The lights are going out.

IN some places, it seems they have had the right to vote for decades.

While I always hear that the apes are our closest genetic match, how much difference is there between humans and say a dog?

The right to keep and bear poop (RKBP) was overturned today in a 5-4 upset.

Writing for the simian minority, Justice David ‘gosh I wish I had a date’ Souter opined that monkeys are human and guns are poopy. Justice John Paul Stevens, in a somewhat confusing opinion, asked, “when is Matlock on?”

[Ingtar]

The US Congress just did something similar. You know, there might be a reason for a 12% approval rating when they do this instead of addressing real issues.

[isrul]

I hope you are right. The wake up call is that men now confront beasts masquerading as men.

[Argus]

It won't be long before apes are granted the right to vote and even run for president.

And that would be different from the current Democratic Party how?

[ari-freedom]

And that would be different from the current Democratic Party how?

apes are smarter than jackasses

Vz52?

Spain looked pretty good in the second half but Germany looks tops.

[Jo Nuvark]

Can’t wait until Spain tries to collect taxes from
a monkey or a monkey goes to trial for killing another
monkey (or human, or other animal, or for destroying
a tree), or a monkey tries to collect social security
benefts, or a human tries to marry a monkey or a
monkey runs for office, or .... wait. Never mind.

Please let this be satire. My head hurts.

[isrul]

I'm thinking life, itself, has become satire.
