"The debate over the ethics of 'imprisoning' great apes has bubbled away among primate specialists for years, often beneath the surface. They've fussed with one another about whether likening apes to human children is accurate or fair, about whether brainpower should be the trump factor for figuring out which animals deserve special protection, and whether genetic relatedness to human beings should carry special weight in bioethical considerations."
