Hitting the UK headlines

NOt sure how to take this one -

First emotion is one of sadness followed by anger, but then a feeling of hypocrisy hits as I think of my turkey roast on Sunday....

Not in the story is the fact that the parent penguins are totally stressed by the episode and are not eating as a result....

We here in the Midwest are eagerly watching to see how much of a penalty will be meted out to the operator of this "facility". She'd better do some time.

I should think Penguins lose chicks all the time. I wonder if these pampered, Zoo living Penguins have become citified, sissyfied, metrosexuals?

They certainly dress like it.

Does this qualify you to be classed as a pinguphobe?

Not at all. In the real world, penguins live on the edge of survival every minute. They hang out, and on, in the harshest damn places on Earth. I doubt if they have much time to be pining for lost chick or there would be a whole lot pining penguins out there, as the mortality rate is pretty high.
They're lucky there's no Antartic Polar Bears.
