A post from 2008: No babies in Spain but the apes now have rights!

A post from 2008:

To be honest, I had to look twice to make sure that I was reading what I was reading.

According to news reports, Spain is about to go even crazier under PM Rod-Zapatero:

"Spain's parliament voiced its support on Wednesday for the rights of great apes to life and freedom in what will apparently be the first time any national legislature has called for such rights for non-humans.
Parliament's environmental committee approved resolutions urging Spain to comply with the Great Apes Project, devised by scientists and philosophers who say our closest genetic relatives deserve rights hitherto limited to humans.
"This is a historic day in the struggle for animal rights and in defense of our evolutionary comrades, which will doubtless go down in the history of humanity," said Pedro Pozas, Spanish director of the Great Apes Project."

A historic struggle for animal rights? Our evolutionary comrades? Are these people crazy or what?

In the meantime, Spain has one of the lowest birth rates in the world. (1.32 per woman)

What does that mean? It means that Spain's population will shrink dramatically. In other words, there won't be any Spaniards in the future.

So let the apes take over. Spain will now be the land of apes.

This is insane. This is crazy.

This is Spain today under the able leadership of left wing socialists!

P.S. A bit later, George Weigel wrote this book:
