  • Koko got her birthday wish this July 4th - not only did one kitten come to visit, but a whole litter. Koko fell in love with one, and the other fell in love with her. Koko has adopted these two kittens into her family, and it has energized her world.
    Not only have Koko's maternal and play instincts kicked in, but she is signing more to her caregivers and generating new content everyday that can be used by The Gorilla Foundation to create empathy fro great apes. This can have significant benefits to both endangered free-living great apes and those in captive environments, by encouraging the development of 2-way communication with their caregivers (which Koko has had since she was a baby).
    The Gorilla Foundation is now working on a multimedia sequel to the classic book, "Koko's Kitten," which has already reached millions of children worldwide, and has the power to motivate millions more to learn how to make the world a better place for all of its conscious inhabitants.
    You can support The Gorilla Foundation mission of Conservation through Communication by visiting www.koko.org - thank you!
    PS: You can also watch a sequel to this video here: • Kokos Kittens are Growing )

      But here is hondstly more complex ,when started a real conscious altruist spirit ?
      When an human is less human they shouldnt not have acces to 'paradize".
      Paradize and after death are just dreams or fears from living humans invented by realist people who knows we need a award a meaning to be better people more altruist.
      Anyway if a after life exist..it's not my reality now,we shouldnt need that to change what we can change for the better inside our little life interaction.
      In english I cant explain clearly not big vocabulary,but all I said is.
      - when a conscious brain with altruism is enough to have a 'heaven ticket' (maybe a I.A but not yet).
      Also,we sculpt the world everyday with all interactions..so we should try to make it better..and it's complex sometime the right thing is not what we think.
      If you like philosophy it's the right method to start..first a easy historic stuff 'le monde de Sophie/the world of Sophie by Jostein Gaarder if I remember correctly.

      There are no coincidences. Darwin was cousins with who? Aldous Huxley. The people who started spouting that crap are satanist luciferians who very much believe in God, they just don't want a population that does because that makes them harder to control. Evolution is not real. No humans are not a scourge, we are being told that over and over again by people who want us to hate humanity and mankind as much as they do. When did you start hating your fellow man? The SECOND they told you global warming was killing the polar bears, or did you wait a whole month to look at something as stunning as another living, breathing human being who is unlike anything walking on this Earth, out of respect for the rain forest? Just look at yourself in the mirror and tell me you aren't different from a monkey. You are so much more than that in every possible way that yes, it does separate you entirely on a plain they can't even come close to reaching. That alone was meant to be proof and is proof from God that he formed us himself. Overpopulation is a hoax and they're saying people in third world places in Africa can't so much as have a refrigerator or the world will melt while they're flying mega jets. Take a drive through the United States of America and then tell me the world is running out of room. I would laugh until I passed out that's so ridiculous, and I'm talking the space that's not considered farmland. Have you seen Montana? All I saw was empty land on my trip to northern Washington from Oklahoma. Agenda 21 and the Georgia guidestones even spell it out what they want to do. Why is Bill Gates kicked out of Africa and India? Do any of you know? Because his vaccines crippled, incapacitated, and flat out killed tens of thousands. And it wasn't a mistake, it was a trial run. Seek Jesus while he may be found.

    Nobility, compassion, empathy, traits that a wild creature would not naturally know. That means it took 100 times the effort for Koko to develop such traits, truly deserving of respect from all humans.
    As Koko learned to struggle and overcome, we too must understand to appreciate the struggle of all animals in nature as well as the struggles of one another. Her willingness to try and become more was not in vain, as we have now learned to have a greater capacity for love than we ever knew. Rest peacefully now, Koko, we will never forget you.

    Did Dr. Patterson ever have a child? She's a smart woman, and I imagine if she had had a baby, she wouldn't have allowed Koko to hold the baby or even know of it's existence. That would be like rubbing salt into a wound perhaps? Interesting to ponder though.
    I respect Dr. Patterson's view that she would never do this kind of thing again with a Gorilla, even if she was younger because she didn't think it would be right to do it twice. We have enough info now about the Gorilla being an intelligent, thinking being capable of love, empathy, thoughts and worries, etc.
    Penny has put so much into making sure Koko gets the best life she can, under the circumstances. It must be more work than a human raising a human to adulthood. At least humans take care of themselves in a couple decades rather than the five decades that Koko needs constant care and stimulus. Hats off to Dr. Penny Patterson and Koko!

Everyone has a different life to live and a gift to give, and I don't believe that Koko is missing out on some other, better life. Rather, she has a very unique life with different joys and sorrows than other gorillas.
