Really? Give monkeys the rights of humans?? So how will these monkeys work to pay their taxes? You think monkeys should have the rights of humans or not? I say NO!

Pay taxes for what if they don't work? Do they own much, like properties?
I don't know about this "human" rights, but maybe we should establish some "intelligent animal rights" (that includes us). That how we have established rights for intelligent Terrestial and Extraterrestial life.
