I know it's been a long time between blogs, but I've been a busy busy boy. I'm working on getting some photos up soon before we disappear to another week of good clean elephant love in northern Thailand, but in the meantime enjoy this tale of good old fashioned gorilla nipple-envy:
Two former caretakers who refused to bare their breasts to a 136kg, sign-language-speaking gorilla named Koko have settled a lawsuit against the Gorilla Foundation.
Nancy Alperin and Kendra Keller claimed they were fired after they refused to expose their bosoms to the primate.
The pair claimed they were threatened that if they "did not indulge Koko's nipple fetish, their employment with the Gorilla Foundation would suffer," the lawsuit alleged.
Alperin and Keller claimed that Patterson, the gorilla's longtime caretaker and president of the Gorilla Foundation, pressured them to expose their breasts as a way to bond with the 33-year-old female simian.
"On one such occasion," the lawsuit said, "Patterson said, 'Koko, you see my nipples all the time. You are probably bored with my nipples. You need to see new nipples."
Lawyers for both sides refused to disclose terms of the settlement.
A second similar lawsuit filed by another employee is pending.
