042 Monkeys and Marmosets...

Hey! Check it out! It's a Brazilian Marmoset! These Marmosets are actually quite important regarding their connection to our human morality. The inter-web defines intelligence as "Being capable of understanding and/or applying knowledge" By this definition, both Marmosets and Monkeys are quite intelligent! Many of you have probably seen the popular video of the monkeys who exhibit clear reactions to unfair treatment. If you haven't seen it, There will be a link here: Monkey Video. Also, Marmosets have demonstrated their great understanding of actions taken by other Marmosets, and can obviously learn form them. This experiment was done in a Brazilian forest, where groups were shown how to open an "Experimental Apparatus", and other groups just shown an unmoving screen. So: It is obvious that Monkeys and Marmosets are, as we defined earlier, "Intelligent". Because the Monkeys exhibited reactions to unfair treatment, we can question whether the rights of American Citizens should apply to "American Monkeys".. I'd like to know what you both think, Quibbles and Nargles..
