Spain and it's apes

We had, some weeks or motnhs ago, a short note on Spain granting human rights to great apes. I admit the comments made by Mrs Stumpe, president of the Great Ape Project, made me change my originally mokcing mind, and realize that I misunderstood the intention behind the move to grant human rights to certain great apes. But I realize that there still is a contradiction: that these rights are given to some highly intelligent species, but others like dolphins are esxcluded. However, that not all species immediately are adressed in this way should not be a reason not to give it to some, at least. Because maybe it becomes a precedent case. I think the comment by the president is worth a thought, or two, while the commentator of the Brussel Journal back then was off track.
