Looking for correction! The Great Ape Project proposal Zoos have been contemplated along decades as places where you can spend a day with your family and disconnect from routine. However, animals which live there in captivity see their enclosed life through windows and walls. Have you ever asked yourself about their day by day? It wouldn’t absolutely be the life you want for you neither your family. These animals won’t know what is hunting, or develop their capabilities in their native ecosystems, or, in the end, live as animals properly. In this sense, The Great Ape Project has been struggling for a UN Declaration of Rights of Great Apes.

The most common question about this concession rises up when we compared animals with humans. Are we crossing the line between us? How an ape is going to share my rights? Interestingly, the most logical question is a fallacy too. Of course we are not being compared with an animal in legal issues. We are only demonstrating how our knowledge and judgement have evolved so far, until understanding we can preserve other species, living with them, protecting against people who only see the profit in their lives. Apart from this ethical aspect, there is a deeper feeling of fraternity when we stare the eyes of prisoner animals. We sense sadness, depression, a life wasted. If I had lived in freedom, how’d have my life been? This connection is not a hoax. Needless to say this connection is real, and when you experience it, your mind gets collapsed. Take your time and imagine a Lyon, or a bull, living fenced. Do you still consider The Great Ape Project proposal is madness? See yourself with these animal eyes. Thus, I strongly believe these rights must be implemented worldwide. We will have gained a better world, where not being the superior specie doesn’t mean to be in danger.

The Great Ape Project proposal


Zoos have existed along decades as places where you can spend a day with your family and disconnect from routine. However, animals living in captivity have their enclosed life seen through windows and walls. Have you ever asked yourself about their days? It wouldn’t absolutely be the life neither you want nor your family. These animals won’t know what is hunting, or develop their wildness in their native ecosystems, or, in the end, live as animals properly.

In this sense, The Great Ape Project has been fighting for a UN Declaration of Rights of Great Apes. This organization advocates to conferring them legal rights namely their liberation, or the prohibition of torture. The most common question about this concession arises when we compared animals with humans. Are we crossing the line between us? How an ape is going to share my rights?

Interestingly, the most consicence question is a paradox too. Of course we are not being compared with an animal in legal issues. We are only demonstrating how our knowledge and judgement have evolved so far, until we can preserve other species, living with them, protecting against people who only yield the profit using animals lives.

Apart from this ethical aspect, there is a deeper feeling of fraternity when we stare the eyes of prisoner animals. We sense sadness, depression, a life wasted. If I had lived in freedom, how’d have my life been? This connection is not a hoax. No need to say this connection is real, and when you experience it, your mind confused. Take your time and imagine a Lyon, or a bull, living fenced. Do you still consider The Great Ape Project proposal is mad/ See yourself in these animal eyes.

Thus, I strongly believe these rights must be implemented worldwide. We will have gained a better world, where no superior specie is in danger.
