Koko's friends?

What's going on?! My favourite gorilla is being shamed in all the papers and online news. Two members of her staff are suing for a total of around a million bucks! But the organization needs that money! Penny Patterson asked them to show Koko their nipples. . . pressured them, one statment says.

I remember when Koko and Penny did an online chat a few years ago, Koko said 'nipples' in that particular session as well, but Penny explained that she used the word because it sounded like 'people'. Lots of 'nipples' she said. Something like that.

So what happens now? I think Penny needs to address this publicly. Koko and her species are in great danger, how can this be happening? Now the organization will be plagued with this 'interspeciel sexual harassment' and attention will be taken away from their plight. This is unacceptable.

I would urge Penny to respond to the claims of the former employees and urge everyone else not to forget the reasons that Koko dot org exists.
