A wild-caught chimpanzee, Hiasl was intercepted about 20 years ago during an illegal attempt to send him to a vivisection lab. He was sent to a sanctuary instead. Now that the sanctuary is facing financial bankruptcy, a British woman named Paula Stibbe is working to prevent his transfer to a zoo. Ms. Stibbe has applied to the court to be named Hiasl’s legal guardian, saying he deserves the same rights as a human. A judge in the Modling district court will decide the case. View the BBC video
