14、at is enough for him to be a legal person，” said Steven Wise，a lawyer for a group called the Nonhuman Rights Project.He also said that Tommy should be removed from the Laverys home.He argued that Tommys rights were being infringed(侵犯) because he lived all alone in a cage.And he asked that court make
15、 Tommy a “person，”for legal purposes，in order to free the chimp from his current living arrangement.The court is now deciding whether to declare Tommy a person.At the hearing，some of the justices were skeptical (怀疑的)especially when Wise compared Tommys situation to slavery.His argument was that slav

17、 Presiding Justice Karen Peters.“You might want to find out another argument.”But Lavery said that he considered the concept of making Tommy a person absurd.Tommy works in the entertainment industry before retiring，so he is not used to being around other chimps.“We would place him in the shelter if
18、we had the opportunity，” Lavery said.“But he has special needs.He cant go just anywhere.He has never been associated with other chimps.And he could get hurt if he went in the wrong atmosphere.”Wise disagrees.“Tommy does not want to be imprisoned for his life in a cage.Hes an extraordinarily complex

22、mpared Tommys situation to slavery.You might want to find out another argument.”可知，Wise将Tommy的情形比做成奴隶的情形，这让法庭上的法官表示怀疑，让他找到其他的证据。由此可推知，Wise所列的证据没能说服法庭上的法官。7Why hasnt Lavery placed Tommy in an animal shelter?ABecause Tommy is in great need of special care.BBecause Lavery hasnt found a proper shelter s
