.S. lawsuit over ape's 'nipple fetish' settled

Two women who had taken care of Koko, a gorilla who communicates with humans by sign language, have settled a lawsuit charging the president of its sanctuary urged them to show their breasts to the ape, a lawyer said on Thursday.

Nancy Alperin and Kendra Keller had sued the Woodside, California-based Gorilla Foundation, claiming its president had pressed them to bare their breasts for Koko to help bond with the gorilla.

The two said foundation President Francine Patterson would interpret hand movements by Koko as a demand to see human nipples. They declined and were later fired in an act of retaliation for not indulging what the lawsuit called Koko's "nipple fetish."

The lawyer for the foundation said the two were fired for different reasons and that a county court earlier this year dismissed their sexual harassment and wrongful termination charges.

Attorney Todd Roberts said the foundation agreed to settle the lawsuit to get on with its work. Terms of the settlement were confidential, he added.

"We denied all of the allegations in the complaint and continue to deny the allegations," Roberts said.

Stephen Sommers, a lawyer for the two women, declined to comment on the lawsuit and its settlement.

Koko's "nipple fetish."

So, how do we know that this is a fetish with gorillas? Maybe it is some sort of natural thing they do, checking out female nipples?

(Okay, I left this one wide open. Cannot wait to see the graphics and replies :))

Only in dim wing nut land would you see the beginnings of a beastiality movement. Now all they need is a pro beastiality judge to rule in favor of equal sexual rights for confined animals.( If the horse wants to mount you , you cannot refuse?)


" You do know that you have to offer your nipples to the gorilla every day as a term of your employment contract!"
Will such a contract be upheld as valid, as being non discriminatory against our confined beasts ?


I mean with equality for gays, how far behind can the beastiality lobby be? Will animal/human relationships be included in the civil union category by animal rights activists?

There must be a few wing nut judges out there who will decide favorably on this in the future?

I wouldn't be suprised if Koko decided to get her own place. What, with all the nipple-twisting that goes on there...

"Koko's "nipple fetish."

What a coincidence. The Japanese porn freak who lives next door to me invited me to watch a movie with this exact title just last Friday.
