Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Over Gorilla

Ray writes "Here is a intriguing episode of "animal sexuality" that borders on the bizzare, Women Allege Monkey Business Caring for Gorilla
. I know at times we primates have all been treated like a monkey's uncle, but can a gorilla really use sign language to say, "Koko's your daddy???" Keep abreast with all the news that's fit to report, and some that isn't, or you too could wind up on the short end of the long arm of sexual harassment law. Once again the poor, lonely male, who was already behind bars this time, was just hoping for a little bonding with the opposite sex, albeit cross speices. I suspect diversity training will take on an all new meaing for Zoo administrators across America after this episode, and Koko will need to be re-educated in the politically correct use of sign language."

Ed. note: Koko is in fact a female gorilla (see this page). The person being sued, Dr. Patterson, is also female.
