Would that chimp know any better and be tried in a court of law? No. Because it is a wild animal driven by instinct and not loyalty or friendship or values or consience.
M&B, I don't agree. I think animals do have a consience (especially my dog!). There are many, many examples in which this loyalty and compassion is documented. Remember the elephant that saved the Tsunami survivors, or the turtle that took the baby hippo in?
