Trans-species Coming Out – Opinions From E. Curtis Johnson [VIDEO]
Tommy is a chimpanzee living in a tiny cage at an upstate New York trailer park. The Nonhuman Rights Project argued before the New York Supreme Court that the chimp is a "legal person" entitled to basic human protections, including freedom from captivity. Finally!

Our feelings and judicial mandate will define gender and species. I’m coming out as a trans-species being. I believe I’m a Labrador retriever and demand my rights of a daily brushing and jumping on the couch whenever I want. The solidarity of political correctness also demands improving the image other maligned species. Rats are now “misunderstood Uber-hamsters.” Snakes are “non-ambulatory reptiles.” I’m Rover, formerly the human, E. Curtis Johnson. Oh, one more right: no “snip snip” on me followed by wearing “the cone of shame.”
