    They can only sign to you because they were trained to do so as lab animals. So you want a threshold of sign language competence to trigger release from captivity?
    I honestly don't know how I feel about lab animals. Some reasonable debate and facts on their treatment and value of what is provided by the research would be nice. Of course I also want honest answers from politicians, so maybe I am just deluding myself.
