In addition to our renowned adoption and veterinary services, we are a world leader in humane education, community outreach, wildlife programs, humane law enforcement and animal advocacy protection. Founded in 1868 by George T. Angell with 1,200 members in the Boston area, we have grown to more than 120,000 people from all 50 states and 27 countries who support our programs and use our services. We are a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization and receive no government funding at all.

These young horses are taken from their mothers long before they are properly weaned. Caring for these foals is difficult and risky. Sincerely, Unfortunately, some people are unable or unwilling to provide for PMU foals. By the time someone placed a call to the MSPCA, the four-month- old horses were in dire condition. Larry Hawk, D.V.M. Thanks in large part to your donations, we were able to spring into President action. Critical care teams began immediate treatment. Volunteers worked around the clock. And slowly, the foals began to respond. While we feel great pride and satisfaction in being able to help these horses, we also feel the tremendous strain that such an effort places on our people, our facilities and the many other animals that depend on us for their care. I am happy to report that the foals are finally over the hump and we are working hard to find appropriate homes for them. I am also happy to report that we opened the new MSPCA Noble Family Animal Care and Adoption Center in Methuen this past spring as well. It is a beautiful building full of dedicated volunteers and staff members making a difference for those animals who need us the most. Please take the time to drive out and visit us sometime. You won’t be sorry. You will leave with a smile from ear to ear and who knows, maybe even with a new friend who needs a home. You will also be happy to know we broke ground here in Boston for a new clinical care center and animal care and adoption center which should be completed during the summer months of 2006. The number of animals being surrendered is growing as is the need for the very best veterinary care that the residents of New England have come to expect from our three Angell Animal Medical Centers.

Dear Friends, Welcome to this beautiful memory book for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Information and Library Science (SILS). As part of our commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the School, the words and photographs in these pages will give you engaging views of the rich history we share. These are memories that do indeed illuminate our past and chal- lenge us to imagine a vital and innovative future. In the 1930’s when SILS began, the United States had fallen from being the land of opportunity to a country focused on eco- nomic survival. The income of the average American family had fallen by 40%, unemployment was at 25% and it was a perilous time for public education, with most communities struggling to afford teachers and textbooks for their children.

Peña-Guzmán Jeff Sebo 1 For Kiko and Tommy 2 Contents Acknowledgments…4 Preface Chapter 1 Introduction: Chimpanzees, Rights, and Conceptions of Personhood….5 Chapter 2 The Species Membership Conception………17 Chapter 3 The Social Contract Conception……….48 Chapter 4 The Community Membership Conception……….69 Chapter 5 The Capacities Conception……….85 Chapter 6 Conclusions……….115 Index 3 Acknowledgements The authors thank the many people who have helped us throughout the development of this book. James Rocha, Bernard Rollin, Adam Shriver, and Rebecca Walker were fellow travelers with us on the amicus brief, but were unable to follow us to the book. Research assistants Andrew Lopez and Caroline Vardigans provided invaluable support and assistance at crucial moments. We have also benefited from discussion with audiences at the Stanford Law School and Dalhousie Philosophy Department Colloquium, where the amicus brief was presented, and from the advice of wise colleagues, including Charlotte Blattner, Matthew Herder, Syl Ko, Tim Krahn, and Gordon McOuat. Lauren Choplin, Kevin Schneider, and Steven Wise patiently helped us navigate the legal landscape as we worked on the brief, related media articles, and the book, and they continue to fight for freedom for Kiko and Tommy, and many other nonhuman animals. 4 1 Introduction: Chimpanzees, Rights, and Conceptions of Personhood In December 2013, the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) filed a petition for a common law writ of habeas corpus in the New York State Supreme Court on behalf of Tommy, a chimpanzee living alone in a cage in a shed in rural New York (Barlow, 2017).
