jane goodall
in 1978, fossey attempted to prevent the export of two young gorillas, coco and pucker, from rwanda to the zoo in cologne, germany. during the capture of the infants at the behest of the cologne zoo and rwandan park conservator, 20 adult gorillas had been killed. the infant gorillas were given to fossey by the park conservator of the virunga volcanoes for treatment of injuries suffered during their capture and captivity. with considerable effort, she restored them to some approximation of health. over fossey's objections, the gorillas were shipped to cologne, where they lived nine years in captivity, both dying in the same month. she viewed the holding of animals in "prison" (zoos) for the entertainment of people as unethical.
