Such a sad day, we have still so much to learn and broaden our understanding of the animal world. Rest in peace.

Re: The death of KoKo announced.
That is terribly sad, indeed.
At least she died in her sleep, peaceful-like.

Re: The death of KoKo announced.
Makes me think of the death of the Jabari, Dallas Zoo Gorilla, who was terminated by the Dallas Police Dept. in 2004.
Zoo workers armed with tranquilizer guns had pursued the animal through the forested jungles of the Wilds of Africa exhibit for about 40 minutes, but could not gain a clear shot, officials said.
“It tried to charge two of our officers, so we had to shoot it,” Deputy Police Chief Daniel Garcia said. “You can imagine the pandemonium we had out here when he got loose. We felt terrible we had to put this animal down.”
