Is There an Argument to Be Made About Cocoa's Death?

i remember when cocoa the gorilla died, it was a huge thing. Is there an argument that having this experiment become such a media kind of driven frenzy, and have it turning this gorilla into a celebrity? Does that kind of taint the research? I wanted to go back to talking about the cocoa versus nim chimski debates because i thought that was jut an interesting piece of your reporting. But actually, if you look at the record, the reason why cocoa became such a celebrity was because the science was tho scientific world was leaving penny and cocoa behind.
