Stick him in the cage instead

Hemorrhoid with ears Steven (un)Wise is suing in a New York appeals court to gain human rights for a couple of chimps.
I can see his argument, the chimps clearly are smarter than the average liberal as are garden slugs, but where should we draw the line.
For my part, animals are property, and the control of them is solely the responsibility and choice of their owner. I am sick of groups like PETA who interfere with property rights.
Steven Wise should be ordered to pay all the legal costs that the owners of the Chimps have incurred he should then be taken out to his "sanctuary" island, stuck in a cage and left for the buzzards.
