The Non-human Rights Project (NhRP) is leading the legal struggle towards actual animal rights by trying to get a court to overcome speciesism and recognize an animal as a legal person for the first time in history. Its focus is on a small number of chimpanzees in captivity, with the goal to win a landmark court case that would promote anti-speciesism to the forefront of public attention and enshrine it into the American legal system.
