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, [ [http://literati.net/Wise/ "Steven M.
