MADRID (Reuters)--Spain' s parliament   voiced its support on Wednesday for the rights of great apes   to life and freedom.     Parliament's environmental committee approved resolution   urging Spain to carry out the Great Ape Project (GAP), designed by scientists and philosophers who say our closest genetic  s deserve rights limited to humans.     "This is a historic day in the struggle for animal rights and in defense of our evolutionary comrades, which will doubtless go down in the history of humanity," said Pedro Poza, Spanish director of the Great Ape Project.     The new resolution has cross-party support and it is thought they will become law within a year, making Spain the first nation to extend legal rights to apes.     Under the new law, potential experiments on apes in Spain will be forbidden.     "We have no knowledge of great apes being used in experiments in Spain, but there is currently no law preventing that from happening," Poza said.     Keeping apes for circuses, television commercials or filming will also be forbidden.Housing apes in Spanish zoos, of which there are currently 315, will remain legal, but supporters of  _ have said the conditions in which most of them live will need to improve vastly.     Philosophers Peter Singer and Paola Cavalieri founded the Great Ape Project in 1993, arguing that "non-human hominids " should enjoy the rights to life and freedom and not to be mistreated. What is Poza's attitude towards the resolutions?
He doubts their truth. He strongly supports them. He thinks them unnecessary. He pays little attention to them.
