Science journalist Ed Yong, in his article, “Of Primates and Personhood: Will According Rights and “Dignity” to Nonhuman Organisms Halt Research?” suggests that rights are no longer an exclusive domain to humans. Yong develops his suggestion by introducing the Great Apes Project, who are an international organization of primatologists, anthropologists, ethicists, who advocate for the rights of Great Apes. Along with this he states countries like the United Kingdom and Spain that have gone as far as to establish laws to protect these rights. By giving an overview of organizations like GAP and their beliefs, and introducing counter-arguments he creates an effective argument. Yong’s purpose is to inform the public on animal rights and raise awareness
