Why is the word affection interpreted by so many on here as a euphemism for sex? Especially when the articles points out that the Hippo adopted the tortoise as a "surrogate parent".
Actually, the workers have no idea WHAT is going on in Owen's mind. As the article points out, they think he may have been attracted by the turtle's shape.
Because many of us are starved for..... ummmmmm.... affection.
Yeah, that's the ticket.
