This is good news and very moving. I hope Cecilia will live out her days now in peace and with some kindness.
This is a wonderful beginning certainly for Primates, and hopefully for all animals. Though it's rather typical of humans to grant such rights to a species which is "closest to Human"....I am hoping as time goes by the rights as non-human persons will be granted to many others.
As the president of AFADA said, "The Habeas Corpus recognition means that the animals are not things anymore"....
(Those who have dogs, or other animals already know that their companions are 'non human persons'! Sharing life every day with any personality, even of another species makes that obvious.)
