Gay penguins expelled from zoo for stealing eggs given their own following animal rights protest
The Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | December 15, 2008 | Caroline Graham

Last month the birds were segregated after they were caught  placing stones at the feet of parents before waddling away with their eggs.

But angry visitors to Polar Land in Harbin, northern China, complained it wasn't fair to stop the couple from becoming surrogate fathers and urged zoo bosses to give them a chance.

'We decided to give them two eggs from another couple whose hatching ability had been poor and they've turned out to be the best parents in the whole zoo,' said one of the keepers.

'It's very encouraging and if this works out well we will try to arrange for them to become real parents themselves with artificial insemination.'

Wildlife experts at the park explain that despite being gay the three-year-old male birds are still driven by an urge to be fathers.

'One of the responsibilities of being a male adult is looking after the eggs. Despite the fact that they can't have eggs naturally, it does not take away their biological drive to be a parent,' said one.
 

One campaigner who did not want to be named welcomed the move and said: 'It wasn't fair to stop them becoming parents and keep them apart from all the other birds just because of the way nature has made them.'

They should put them with “lesbian” penguins and let the problem resolve itself.

Apparently the maxim works, if they can’t reproduce, then recruit.

This little game is going to be some kind of proof that homosexual men make wonderful fathers.

The zoo down the street will soon come up with two lesbians...

It didn’t work for the Shakers.

This insanity has spread to China?? Rather than give them a chance they should be made into penguin won ton.

Rush and others have been saying for years, if you want to f***-up the Chinese, export liberalism to them.

I don't think this has ever worked no matter how many times human gays have tried it.

This story is fake. It is written with a total Western/Lib politicall correctness that CHinese, especially Chinese in Manchuria, do not have.

Grammatically incorrect poster

Are you serious?  Provide an example please.

I was forced to truncate the original title because the FR system would not allow it to be posted in its entirety.  Here it is in all of its original glory:

Gay penguins expelled from zoo colony for stealing eggs are given their own to look after following animal rights protest
 

Pretty much what I've become accustomed to in the British tabloids.  Not the way I would have written it given the chance, but FR rules forbid us from altering article titles.  I altered it only enough so that it would be accepted by the system without changing its meaning.
