We had trouble in the past about which body carries a soul.
That is her front legs. The kids use what would be her back legs.

If monkeys were granted human rights, the global legal, scientific, and agricultural systems would radically transform. Monkeys would be elevated from legal "property" to "legal persons," meaning they would possess the fundamental rights to bodily liberty, freedom of movement, and life, effectively abolishing their use in biomedical testing, circuses, and the pet trade.
The Impact: What Would Happen
End of Medical Testing: Because monkeys share significant physiological and behavioral similarities with humans, giving them rights would immediately halt their use in invasive medical, psychological, and pharmaceutical research.
Zoo and Captivity Bans:
Holding a monkey in a zoo, theme park, or as an exotic pet would be legally recognized as kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment. All captive monkeys would have to be retired to massive, naturally enclosed sanctuaries.
Entertainment Industry Ban: Monkeys could no longer be utilized in movies, commercials, or live shows.
Complex Legal Dilemmas: Granting human rights to animals would spark massive ethical and judicial headaches, such as whether humans are legally required to intervene to stop predation (e.g., lions hunting monkeys in the wild) to protect the monkey's right to life.
After the Top Floors, Brothers, but do not walk past.
