Koko the Gorilla Cries Over the Loss of a Kitten

[rottenpancakes]

Smarter than a kneeger.

[kenseisato1989]

you can tell by the way koko says frown and cry that she is frustrated with so much emotions.

if anyones interested there a documentary for Koko

[MrJAWshot]

wow. if this is real i did not fully appreciate how smart these apes are. did she really understand sign??

[cokerainbows]

@MrJAWshot yes and they taught a male gorilla sign language too.

[JBTheMighty]

:;(

[irishdude69]

i dont think ive ever heard a gorilla cry b4 =(

[PaPiRiCoSuAvE]

man if this is real I cant watch this....its making me cry lol ........its amazing thaT SOME IF NOT ALL ANIMALS feel emotions and espresses them just like us......its crazy.....

[cokerainbows]

@PaPiRiCoSuAvE all animals feel emotion.

[10samm10]

@cokerainbows Not ALL animals feel the same "emotions" we feel.

[JimmyFarina97]

i think only certain animals posses the ability to have deep enough thought to understand emotions. gorillas are one of them.  i wonder what else?

[ChangeTheWorld8]

@JimmyFarina97 I'm on the lookout for more videos displaying that, keep your eyes open!

[LionOfMing]

@JimmyFarina97 Dolphins.

[guwest2]

@JimmyFarina97 Cetaceans, which is why the the American Association for the Advancement of Science moved that dolphins should be treated as non-human "persons", with their rights to life and liberty respected, in February 2012.

"science has shown that individuality - consciousness, self-awareness - is no longer a unique human property" Prof Tom White, from Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles.

[Piatasify]

@JimmyFarina97 This is grief specifically, in which case we can expect all or at least mostsocial animals. And plenty of solitary animals will grief the loss of their children and siblings...

[Piatasify]

@JimmyFarina97 ...As for emotions broadly speaking, that would require us to first ascertain what exactly are emotions, which I think we still have no definite neurological explanation for (if there is, could someone please let me know? tnx), and in many cases we still wouldn't be able to recognise it, because we are programmed to recognise only human emotion.

[ishotelmointhebrains]

:c its not fake its real!!!! D:< why the hell would it be on the news then you idiots!?

[gottaXloveXchocolate]

Awwwww poor kitty i almost cried when they said she got killed at a logginh mill:'(

[therealgergory]

fake

[ChangeTheWorld8]

@therealgergory You are mistaken.

[cokerainbows]

@therealgergory shut up, you mong! is it that hard to think these animals are as intelligent as us? im astounded by the intelligence of these beautfiul creatures....tell you something, this gorilla has more empathy than most humans these days! Narrowninded and ignorant people like you get on my nerves, have an open mind, being ignorant gets you nowhere in life!

[RolfHarass]

@therealgergory fuckin troll

[aldomovielovers]

send him back to rwanda

[mgore90]

You need balls of steel to break bad news to a gorilla.

[Heliosess]

it would be sad if koko had freaked out and accidently crushed the kitten

[Gaostic]

@Heliosess lol xD

[KoopaKonartist]

God bless Koko.

[SnowwDubb]

Aaaaaaaaw :"( I hope she's okay now and that they at least got her a new kitty.

[tonyfressola]

I remember KoKo. She spoke through sign language. KoKo thought she was human. And so do I.

[lonewolf726]

Damn...i teared up little when showed the gorilla communicating and understanding her,about the loss. Damn thats deep. Great video.

[keddw101]

hope she got a new cat

[HawaiiMclovin69]

-kitten tries to get away- Koko: get yo ass back ova here

[YouSoundBored]

No tears, only dreams now. Don't get your jimmies in a rustle.

[DolliKun]

:((((((((((((((((((((((

[Timx4]

Wow sign languages, Planet for the apes will be reality.

[webkinzmovies2000]

koko lost kitty

[Evertide05]

I read a book about Koko and her kitten when I was a little kid. It broke my heart...but seeing a video about it, that's something I still wasn't prepared for.

[thethind951]

Set that gorilla free!!

[asaaqas]

im going back to the cte videos now 

[TheFacelessActivist]

I think it's idiotic to say animals don't feel emotions.

I do think it's pragmatic to say that non-sapient animals don't feel emotions. Primates are far more advanced than, say, rodents or anything that we use for experiments. Still, this is an emotional appeal which in it's own is also a non-rational presentation. Got anything scientific?

[TrueScandinavia]

@TheFacelessActivist I think you got a little caught up in your own attempt to appear intellectual here. First of all, how is it pragmatic? Do you know what that word means? How is it, in this context, pragmatic to deny that "non-sapient animals" (sic!) feel emotions? Second of all, you incorrectly used an apostrophe in the word "its", but I give you that. Cheers.

[TheFacelessActivist]

@TrueScandinavia

Cool story, bro.

[jman280292]

aww man that shits heart breaking

[Violetmara]

awwwwwwwww

[oguzhanfb2]

I love Koko

[KINGOFDARKNESS48]

i Love Great Ape , I Want To Live With Them

[madisonelectronic]

@KINGOFDARKNESS48 You already have your mama.

[Th3G4YONE]

Shit! that gorilla communicated with the women using sign language!

[BrickVsJaw]

WOW! that Gorilla using and understanding sign language is amazing!

[lucifersgarden]

Seriously, how can some people believe animals don't have souls?

[katiex2334]

This makes me cry..

[ganjamanyouth]

After all we are animals aswells in there eyes, every living thing has a feeling.

[Downsify34]

@ganjamanyouth besides women but seriously yea for some reason humans dont consider our selves as animals even tho we share so much with them.

[iiCookieCrumblez]

God animals are so amazing you should never call a animal dumb after you see this video

[SwordmasterYuskei]

I don't know what's sadder, the Kitten dying or Koko being crushed over his death...

[infokemp]

That is one of the most sad things I've ever seen. I've met some people who don't have an ounce of "humanity" yet the Koko has empathy for another living being, it just shows that reason is universal as Paschal58 excellent comment said other animal species deserve our protection.

[0123iloveyouforever]

this actually brought a tear to my eye

[7briguy]

i love koko more than anything! i cried like a baby.why do such bad things happen to such good souls

[mr13karrot]

Give him.... A new KITTEN!!!

[EgoOwnVos]

@mr13karrot

Koko's a she.

[Nealos101]

Liked and shared, what a heartbreaking story.



[NymphadoraBeeWolf]

poor koko :(

[Lugmillord]

oh my god, this is so sad. And this gorilla can communicate so well... it makes it even more touching that the animal really tells you how it feels.

[minecraftmac7]

I seem to have gotten something in my eye.

[daewonskate]

@julioarroyo751 did he die!

[ChangeTheWorld8]

@daewonskate If you are talking about Koko no, She* is alive and well. She lives in a habitat so she could be looking at another 15 or so years.

[daewonskate]

@ChangeTheWorld8 yay

[julioarroyo751]

@daewonskate No lol haha 

[NymphadoraBeeWolf]

@julioarroyo751 what makes you think she is dead?

[CagyPit18]

Thumbs up if you cried during this video

[llPLAYA69ll]

Wait, is this real?

[ChangeTheWorld8]

@llPLAYA69ll 100% real!



[wowknobs]

@ChangeTheWorld8

That is CRAZY!

[luxmeaxi]

@llPLAYA69ll ------ Go to Koko.org. She has been under Dr Penny's care since the 1970's!!

[XeenWoozy]

Amazing how she said bad twice, it shows how much she's feeling

[kiahernandez1]

@lawtonokieguy i agree with you!

[SuPeRPiiG]

Omg I almost cried D':

[marinalaliki]

no wonder O-o run away. if i were O-o i would also. i mean after all these exessive pattings and touchings.

[ramilegia]

just amazing

[bestamerica]

'

i know a lady sign language to the ape,,,

lady told ape, CAR HIT / KILL THE CAT

[0zzy07]

OMG I just realized the narrator is the illusive man from Mass effect 2 Lol

[lawtonokieguy]

I feel bad for Koko and the kitten that died... People say that animals don't understand human emotions, that animals have no souls, I think this video proves you heartless ones wrong...

[McDomRap]

koko hat die katze kaputt gemacht :D

[hwangstet5k]

never knew gorillas can make hand signs

[sonerec725]

@hwangstet5k thats why koko is popular

[GmrWeb]

@hwangstet5k this gorilla was trained to hand signs.

[LMAOFepic]

*sniff* *sniff* I didnt cry...

[Nachalnika]

almost cried that sad to have a cat who you loved get killed. those monkeys are intelligent .. we should take care of them too.

[dylanmo91]

@Nachalnika smh gorillas are not monkeys

[amazingpetgossip]

how could you not cry omg how sad

[willz38]

who cried at this vid



[420m6o6r6t420]

Very sad



[LadyGrinningSoul]

This is so sad but so amazing. It made me cry but it is amazing how much Koko really loved the kitten. She really understood how to love. If only humans could understand the same.

[TheMrawesome777]

@LadyGrinningSoul What? Hmans understand love just as much as the gorilla, i mean you would cry if you lost a loved one or a loved pet right? therefore you (Humans) obviously understand love as much as Koko lol

[LadyGrinningSoul]

@TheMrawesome777 True, perhaps I should have said "some humans". Call me a pessimist but so long as people value their personal possessions as passionately as they do while they turn a blind eye to the atrocities in the world, I don't think humans understand love as much as they think they do. We know better, but things such as government and consumerism has clouded our minds with superficial thoughts. We've been raised to forget about compassion. In my opinion, of course lol

[zoinkpanooley]

I remember seeing this footage back in the 80s. Koko is an amazing gentle giant

[ilovejapanesepeople]

I can't believe it, I'm crying too!

[Impulse116]

it made me cry

[Ibanezshredder75]

Giving a pet...a pet.Cool.

[mack11223]

can you please stop giving this monkey kittens PLEASE I BEG you. PLEASE . Its not fair to the cat man what the hell..

[TheAgnostic231]

@mack11223 Atleast this Gorilla is better than some humans

[hahaha2434]

for the first time ... IM SEEING..

NO DISLIKE.. BAR!!!!!!

[2011Scarecrow]

T-T I'm not crying!! D:< T-T

[BeAnBeAn22]

I'm a 17 year old who was incriminated under the youth offenders act for manslaughter. I cried from this video...

[Dissmonger]

@BeAnBeAn22 No.. ur just a bitch!!

[Moriachik]

I had no idea that Apes could cry, let alone wait until they were away from human contact and THEN cry when they're alone.

I wonder what other animals can feel emotion to that depth...

[nerkamal]

@Moriachik

All of them

[Paschal58]

Did you see that? That gorilla was really using sign language. The gorilla understood the woman and they spoke. They had a conversation. Killing a gorilla should be considered murder.

[dmaster225]

Dayum wtf I didnt know it was possible to communicate that much with gorillas.

[Mejor825]

im sure he kill the cat and was sad because he could not eat him

[my4thone]

i thought koko was gonna go ape on the the new cat...

[Jewclops]

o.o

[HappinessIzBriShaped]

The gorilla DID NOT kill the kitten. Jeez, get over yourselves.

[SelviY]

i am crying.

[dgpangan]

This gorilla has more heart than some human beings on Earth.

[jimbobhk2009]

@dgpangan funny

[cowkiller39]

thats really sad poor koko get a new all ball

[mack11223]

@mack11223 also what ever happened to all balls tail? hmm?

[Jayjee123]

@mack11223 its called a manx idiot, look it up. its a breed of tailless cat

[mack11223]

@Jayjee123 KOKO ATE IT YOU DIC. I WAS THERE. THAT APE DID WHAT IT DOES BEST AND THAT'S GO APE SHIT.. LISTEN I'LL GIVE YOU THE BENEFIT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SHELTERS {{{ WHY WILL THEY NOT??}} JUST GIVE THE MONKEY ANOTHER CAT HUH? JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION WITHOUT BEING STUPID.. IF NOT JUST STAND CORRECTED AND SHUT TF UP

[Jayjee123]

@mack11223 they actually did give it another cat, so quit trolling and stand corrected

[mack11223]

@Jayjee123 No need to start with the lies. Just makes you look childish .

[XxCourageInaCanxX]

@mack11223 TYPING IN ALL CAPITALS MEANS I'M RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

[marksoutof10]

@XxCourageInaCanxX Typing in all capitals means you're a troll.

[XxCourageInaCanxX]

@marksoutof10 really....REALLY? come on guy are you that dim-witted.

[ErmacBOSS]

@mack11223 idiot man, koko is such a gentle and loving gorilla look at his 2012 vids

[mack11223]

@ErmacBOSS MY FRIENDS MONKEY WA JUST AS JENTAL TILL IT WENT BANANAS AND REARRANGED HER FACE YOU DIP SH

[ChangeTheWorld8]

@mack11223 Lots of cats have no tails. They are in an environment that is suitable for the koko, and that's out in the forest. There is logging roads in forests. Koko is A gentle giant. Clearly smarter than you, you know Koko learned over 2000 sign language signs and koko is a Gorilla. Try doing that.

[mack11223]

@ChangeTheWorld8 what are you a complete ass?? What the hell does {cat claws by the way} have to do with anything?? Figure out what we're talking bout before you open ur trap..

[mack11223]

@ChangeTheWorld8 no need to. poor cat. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THIS APE ANOTHER HELPLESS KITTEN..

[TheFanta913]

@mack11223 cunt

[MisterDiSeAsE]

@mack11223 Wow, you're dumb. I'm sure the *gorilla* is amazing, too, highly intelligent, and even nice and loving. It loved the cat and the cat loved it too. Just like it'd love a human.. Oh wait.. Humans ARE primates. Dumbo.

[Jayjee123]

@ChangeTheWorld8 dont respond to mack11223 hes just trolling. he knows he can piss people off so he goes to all of kokos vids saying stuff like that. btw the breed of cat is a manx, they are all born without tails

[mack11223]

@ChangeTheWorld8 I'll pass poor cat. OK OK COOL the ape is smart as shit JUST PLEASE, can you please stop giving this monkey kittens PLEASE I BEG you. PLEASE . Its not fair to the cat man what the hell..

[Peenut2k7]

@ChangeTheWorld8 I think they are in Hawaii. Very suitible environment.

[ThriceDice]

@ChangeTheWorld8 I think most people could do that if it was the ONLY thing they had to worry about in life, like this gorilla.

[happyhoppip]

@mack11223 Hes a Manx, he has no tail :) oh, and koko wouldnt hurt a kitten. Shes gentle. And, if she did kill AllBall, why would she cry about it? If shes the one that did it, she wouldnt be sad, cause she obviously didnt like AllBall :) And Koko doesnt live in the forest, she lives in a this house thingy majigg (dont know what it is xD) So yeah.. hope that cleared out some of that confusion... and i know some people are angry, and i understand that, but dont get angry yourself kays? :D

[ryuzaky96]

Oh my god...it's so sad :(

[RReederHunt]

So incredibly sad.

[DJ101303]

bad sad bad.... ];

[JakesEpic]

Make me wanna cry

[TheFanta913]

@JakesEpic WANNA cry i cried for 15 mins

[Wonocva15]

@atrumira

No offense of course, I get where you're coming from. Just a response.

[Wonocva15]

@atrumira

They probably wouldn't, to be honest. If a civilization got that far scientifically they would be doing the same thing and, seeing the level of science we're at, would understand because they had to do the same thing too. Maybe one day we won't, but there's no real options right now unless we want to halt progress, especially medicinal.

As for food, don't get me started on the whole "We evolved to need protein in our diet" thing. And I'd rather not JUST eat peanuts forever, thanks.

[atrumira]

I often wonder what would happen if we encountered an intelligent alien life form & this being asked us why we treat other life forms so terribly. Why we treat animals like appliances to be mutilated & experimented on.

Watch a video entitled Malish, that is if you are brave enough to face how cruel humans can be.

[shittykittyification]

@atrumira

I don't have to watch a video to know how cruel humans are. I swim in human cruelty everyday. 

[spk9990]

how sad......and we humans can learn a lot from animals

[skating1611]

@spk9990 Umm.. Like what?

[MischievousHeart]

Awe

[BigGee614]

wow amazing

[1266DRB]

so sad :(
