660: Clog the Pipes

Legal Personhood for Chimpanzees and Fox News Debate

The hosts play a clip from Fox News debating whether chimpanzees should be granted legal personhood and the right of habeas corpus. Dvorak dismisses the story as "monkey business," arguing that animals are legally considered property or "chattel." They mock the attempt to extend human legal protections to non-human species.
