The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was adopted 65 years ago last week. Might some of its provisions one day be extended to animals or at least "higher" animals like chimpanzees? The decision by the Nonhuman Rights Project to file a writ of habeas corpus on behalf of Tommy, a chimp whom it says "is being held captive in a shed at a used-trailer lot," forces human rights advocates like me to consider how broad the concept of rights really is.
