Your statement is implying all humans must only focus on the one most pressing moral issue of the time. This is simply an absurd notion. Why should veterinarians exist? After all, people are still getting sick and dying. Why devote medical research to the flu? Cancer is much more deadly and still exists. Why fight for marriage equality in the US? Homosexuals are stoned to death in other countries. If you're trying to imply some sort of hypocrisy, you've also run afoul of a logical fallacy. Hypocrisy would imply that the individuals granting an orangutan rights are the same people denying immigrants rights. But they almost certainly are not, and you have no evidence that they are. Hypocrisy doesn't apply to groups of uncoordinated individuals. (Moreover, the rights were granted by a judge in Argentina. No-one's claiming that the US plans to recognize those rights. So I really don't know what your comment is getting at.)
