Labs already have to abide by a certain code of humane ethics in their treatment of lab animals. I think giving monkeys humanhood just opens a can of worms.

Monkeys and chimps are wild animals. Usually wild animals don't enjoy that much Homo's welfare. For the ones you have enslaved, you might give welfare, it is justified.
And if I have got this correctly, it is not giving humanhood, as those are not humans to start with. The whole issue is respecting the fact that other species (especially intelligent ones) have rights too.
