MADISON, Wis. - A Wisconsin appeals court has dealt a major setback to animal rights activists' plans to build a first-of-its-kind museum protesting animal research between two University of Wisconsin primate labs.

The 4th District Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that business owner Roger Charly was free to revoke an offer for activists who run the Primate Freedom Project to purchase his property.

The decision overturns a lower court ruling ordering Charly to sell the property for $675,000 to Richard McLellan, a retired California doctor who wanted to build a National Primate Research Center Exhibition Hall.

Charly instead wants to sell the property to the UW-Madison for $1 million.

1. There's already a Primate Freedom Museum that's allowed to be built right now...

It's called The George W. Bush Presidential Library.

2. Oh, good!

I'm for anything that hurts the so-called "animal rights" movement.

4. Why?

And how is this not a free speech issue?
