Koko has always loved kittens (and people) and her character seems fairly representative of most gorillas. They are so much like us; how can we allow gorillas to be hunted (and eaten)? Empathy is the key to conservation: Support the Gorilla Foundation / Koko.org

    The fact Koko loves cats just confirms to me that there's nothing wrong with internet cat videos - clearly there's something deeply routed in our shared DNA that tells us cats are just the best things ever :p
  • The part where koko was using sign language to tell how sad she was made my heart ache 😭 poor koko!

    I wish they would do a movie about Koko and have it shown in cinemas globally, it could teach children & adults alike the intelligence of these animals and really help open people's eyes to the changes we need to do in the world to protect these incredible animals & all other creatures, the earth should be respected and cared for. So many people are ignorant to the fact that animals can feel emotion and have personalities ect, this would educate and entertain so many. I would be first in line to buy those tickets and I'd make sure I'd take my whole clan along with me to show them a thing or 2 about animals.

    I cried when they told her the kitty died. I remember seeing this in the movie and also crying. I just love Koko so much. <3

    She is so gentle with her cats. It amazes me to see her size compared to those small kittens and being so gentle in how she handles them.

    people need to watch koko ' s story from the beginning - koko loves to be read to about kittens. I think it just shows how she has a unique intelligence that's all wrapped up in love. she is so wonderful!
