Does anybody here know who Dian Fossey is? If so, do you like her? She researched gorillas and had a very strong bond with them. Dian wanted to protect them from poachers. Her favorite gorilla named Digit was killed in 1977 by poachers. Then she started a fund is Digit's name and now it's named The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International. She believed that all beings had the same rights. On December 26th, 1985 Dian was murdered at the age of 53 by being hacked to death with a machete by an unknown intruder. She is portrayed by Sigourney Weaver in the movie Gorillas In The Mist.
