Riguardo questo articolo

2nd printing. One section of pages lightly dog-eared (appears to be from minor mishandling, not an intention to mark the pages). 2000 Trade Paperback. xvi, 362 pp. Rattling the Cage explains how the failure to recognize the basic legal rights of chimpanzees and bonobos in light of modern scientific findings creates a glaring contradiction in our law. In this witty, moving, persuasive, and impeccably researched argument, Wise demonstrates that the cognitive, emotional, and social capacities of these apes entitle them to freedom from imprisonment and abuse.
