Michigan Supreme Court to decide if chimps at zoo deserve legal personhood rights.
The Michigan Supreme Court is being asked to consider whether two chimpanzees held at a northern Michigan zoo should be recognized as legal persons, granting them rights similar to humans, based on arguments about their cognitive abilities and autonomy.
The case stems from a lawsuit filed by animal rights advocates seeking the chimps’ release to a sanctuary.
The court has not yet ruled on whether to hear the appeal.
