They still hang on, but judging from the popular press, it has
degenerated into a rather taudry circus. The lastest stories involve
Penny Patterson's attempt to stop construction near her poor gorillas.
Seems that she lost her last bout and has appealed. I wonder what donors
to the Gorilla Foundation think of this use of their funds?

I would be interested to know if any *scientific* papers of any repute
have come out of this lengthy gorilla abuse. If so, I must not have heard
of it. The whole episode is shameful, in my opinion.
