Another batch of wacko's for your entertainment.
This article has a bunch of other hunorous stories, but this was the one I thought funniest
Snippets From the Animal Kingdom
Hip Hopster P. Diddy is under fire from PETA for using live penguins as decoration during the opening of his new Miami Beach hotel, the BBC reports.
The petrified penguins were reported to be cowering in the corner of a Plexiglas platform for fear of slipping into the pool in which they were floating. PETA says the heat of South Beach was probably unbearable for the birds and that the display might have violated animal cruelty laws.
In New Jersey, activists are hopping mad over a line of new candy shaped like critters run over by cars, the AP reports. The partly flattened snakes, chickens and squirrels depicted in Trolli Road Kill Gummi Candy foster cruelty toward animals, says the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
And finally, the BBC says zookeepers in Germany are under attack for introducing female penguins to an exhibit and forcing the "gay" males of the pen to suppress their true sexuality.
Bremerhaven's Zoo am Meer director Heike Kueck says gay groups worldwide complained about the decision to introduce four extra female Emperor penguins from Sweden to a group of males who have overbonded. The whiners said penguins had a right to form couples without human interference and that officials shouldn't "forcibly separate homosexual couples."
