Aren’t the hippies always telling us how smart these animals are?

Oh, sure, freak the poor things out wondering what their friends did to be turned to stone!!!

That is sooo sad. The poor penguins fell in love with the visitors and were already beginning to think of names for their children. Of course they’re going to be depressed. The love of their life has been cruelly taken away.

The sand penquins disintegrate in a few weeks or so, natural erosion...my God! Can you imagine what the live penquins will think seeing their friends decomposing? Has anyone done a complete psychological analysis by an animal behaviorist of what the trauma might be?

I see PETA getting involved her pretty soon...

(Ah, look at all the lonely penguins)
All the lonely penguins, where do they all belong?

Penguins may not be used to sand - after all, the icy conditions of the Antarctic are very far from sunny beaches.
