It may become one of the most significant animal rights cases in history, rivaling even The Scopes Trial. A court in Austria is going to hear arguments about whether Hiasl, a 26 year old chimpanzee, deserves to be treated as a human. You can read about it in The Observer at Are Chimpanzees Human?.

No monkeys were harmed in the creation of this blog. However, two humans were injured. I got a paper cut (stings like hell!) while loading my printer, and my wife's feelings were hurt because I was too busy blogging to watch Two and a Half Men with her.
We are both expected to recover.

I have been asked by a number of people about my guidelines for the content of Monkey Prose. A number of these inquiries came from primate conservation groups.
* No adult content material. This site is about primates, not porn.
* No material that would be considered to be in bad taste.
My goal for this blog is to present information about primates that is interesting, amusing, and/or educational.
I am open to suggestions from Monkey Prose readers. If there is something that you would like to see a post about, please contact me at bobsher54@verizon.net. The same goes if you see something that you find to be upsetting or inappropriate.
While I retain the right to control the content of my blog, I am sensitive to my readers' feelings. If I think that your suggestion or complaint has merit, then I will give serious consideration to making the suggested change.
