Koko, the famous Gorilla who we have communicated through sign - TopicsExpress



          

Koko, the famous Gorilla who we have communicated through sign language with and learned so much from, is 44 now. She has been through many deaths. Her companion Michael died and she didnt smile for 6 months. A video is circulating of her being told of Robin Williams death (who she knew) where she frowns and seems sad. This is a video of Koko being told her beloved cat AllBall died. She seems to cry privately and signs sad and bad. We sometimes like to think we are the only beings who understand such things. To understand death means to understand mortality. Great Apes, Elephants and who knows what other animals mourn. Have we not seen our own pets stop eating and seem depressed when their companions die? How can we treat animals with any less humanity then? https://youtube/watch?v=CQCOHUXmEZg
