The silly season is again upon us. 
It’s the “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.”

A New York appeals court next week will consider whether chimps should have the same rights as human beings.

The extraordinary proceeding is the result of a lengthy battle by animal-rights activists who argue that animals with human qualities — including chimps — are entitled to human protections, including freedom from captivity.

Steven Wise, part of the Nonhuman Rights Project, which is leading the effort, will have to convince a panel of Albany appellate judges that a chimp name Tommy is a “legal person” to get him moved from a cage in an upstate farm to a sanctuary in Florida.

Salinas said his wife is afraid to leave their apartment because she doesn't know who she will encounter in the hallway.

"Now she's saying, 'Maybe we were better off in the car,'" Salinas said.
