 
 <prompt> Three New York courts don reject one group legal effort to grant captive chimpanzees for that state the same rights as "legal person."

The Nonhuman Rights Project don file three separate suits on behalf of four chimpanzees for New York state last week to secure for Tommy, Kiko, Hercules and Leo -- all male chimps wey dey held for different parts of the state -- the "right to bodily liberty."

The lawsuits ask say make the four chimpanzees dey move go sanctuary "where dem fit live out their days with others of their kind for an environment as close to the wild as possible for North America," the group talk.

The group talk say dem go appeal the courts' decisions.

"These outcomes allow the NhRP to proceed to the appellate courts," NhRP spokeswoman Stacey Doss tell CNN.

We really different from animals?

NhRP founder and President Steven Wise talk before the suits were filed say he go "dey ask judges to recognize, for the first time, say these cognitively complex, autonomous beings get the basic legal right to not be imprisoned."

Tommy's owner, Pat Levery, dismiss the notion say he dey confine the 26-year-old chimp to a prison. Tommy dey live for cage for trailer lot for Gloversville, New York.

"Totally ridiculous" he talk about the lawsuit, wey he never read.
