<DIV>For 30 years, Steven Wise, a lawyer, legal scholar, and founder of the
Nonhuman Rights Project, has been working toward the goal of establishing
personhood and legal rights for animals. Wise now says his group is close to
filing lawsuits on behalf of intelligent animals such as chimpanzees and
dolphins in an attempt to convince courts that at least some nonhuman animals
meet the requirements of legal personhood and should be accorded certain basic
rights. As improbable as it may sound, there's a chance he will succeed, other
legal scholars say. </DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
