The Bremerhaven Zoo had earlier flown in four female Humboldt penguins in an attempt to encourage three couples discovered to be all male to reproduce.

The zoo originally defended the experiment, claiming that the birds were an endangered species, but following protests from gay rights groups, director Heike Kueck has said that the zoo is abandoning the plan.

...

She added that the penguins had shown little interest in their new female companions but said that the programme could have been started too late in the year.

Gay groups had earlier protested against "the organised and forced harassment through female seductresses" in an open letter to Bremerhaven's Mayor Joerg Schulz.

Erhalten Sie zu ihm verwendet.

9. Just introduce them to some single girls. Maybe they're bi.

10. I HAVE to ask.

Do they just like to hang around each other all the time or do they do, er, um...

11. One would think that it would be relatively easy

to artificialy inseminate penguins. So I don't really see the "need" for a "female seductress" at all.

Maybe the penguins need a Christian "re-education" camp?

13. What if the females are also couples?

[philosophie_en_rose]

16. What if they're not really female?

:)


Apparently, the German zoo is not very accurate in determining penguin genders.

15. I guess they're called Humboldt penguins for a reason

:shrug:

17. "female seductresses"?

Oh, man... I wish this was a joke.
