Webster’s dictionary defines a thing as: an event, act, object or possession. Since when is an animal, a living breathing life force placed in the same catergorie as a shoe, book or handbag. The primary difference between these things and a chimp, they are replacable. An animal much like a human being isn’t replaceable because it can’t be duplicated.

Chimps are beings with feelings just like any other living and feeling being or animal on earth. Be kind to all and do not use them.
