The original text consists of 10 paragraphs. The last paragraph has been

171p
Which of the following is the last paragraph of this text?
A 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.
B Rattling the Cage is a must-read for anyone who has an interest in
justice, human and nonhuman animal psychology, jurisprudence, or
simply cares about animals. This book intellectualizes what many
know in their heart: that the way the law treats nonhuman animals is
illogical, anachronistic (not to mention shameful), and ripe for change.
Moreover, it does so in an articulate, humorous, and extremely
readable way.
C Wise is an American lawyer, however, and this is an American
lawyer’s book, full of the energetic swagger of an eloquent defence
attorney. As such, it is an immensely valuable statement of a case that
can now reasonably be made. That case does not, for these and many
other reasons, stand. But the message, that we owe a much larger
duty of care to animals than we are currently prepared to accept, is
beyond all argument, legal or scientific. It is a matter of compassion.
