Again I can only encourage to read Frans de Waal's works, if only to dispell the myth that all sociobiologists are useless idiots (most of them are, but clearly not all).

Here is a clip (presented by Frans de Waal) where you can see how some Capuchin monkeys refuse unequal payment! Great to see.

I guess now we know the answer to the question 'what's the difference between a chimpanzee and a capitalist?' then. But seriously speaking, I'd support giving the great apes (and possibly certain other animals such as whales and dolphins) elevated rights if there wasn't the need for medical vivisection.

Hopefully scientific progress around human cloning etc will remove the need for that in the future.

Aren't we supposed to be studying these things on humans rather than on other species. I mean our movement only encompases human societies, not chimp societies.

But if chimps are more evolved then capitalists shouldn't we be expanding it to these more evolved species?
