Center for the Expansion of Fundamental Rights
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Center for the Expansion of Fundamental Rights (CEFR) is an American animal rights organization that seeks to expand the right of liberty and bodily integrity to non-human animals, particularly chimpanzees and bonobos, through litigation and public education.
The center was established in 1995 by Steven M. Wise of Harvard Law School,[1] and is part of the Chimpanzee Collaboratory, which advances the right of chimpanzees to have legal guardians appointed so that legal action can be pursued on their behalf.[2]
