Gay penguins kidnap baby right from under parents beaks

[ReedeFox]

Gay animals deserve to have kids just like gay humans do, but there's a way to go about it - surrogacy, fostering, adoption, there are plenty of options - but one thing you can't do is go round pinch other peoples kids just so you've got something to love...like these feathery little fellows did.


 
The story comes courtesy of the Odense Zoo in Denmark, where it's been reported that two gay penguins had spotted two straight parents neglecting their baby penguin and decided to try and kidnap him and raise him as their own. Zookeeper Sandie Hedegård Munck explained the situation: 

I could see that something was completely wrong.

The parents disappeared and the kid was simply kidnapped. It was a pair of gay males who had snatched it and was stood with it. The mum had gone for her daily bath and when she didn’t return in time for the dad’s swim he forgot all about his parental responsibilities and left the baby by itself.

When they saw him alone they probably thought “that’s too bad, we’ll snatch it”. I expected the parents would return and demand the child back, but the male was strutting around like he’d never had a kid.

We would have let the gay couple keep the baby if the parents didn’t come looking for it, but eventually they did and the baby was returned to his rightful parents.However, we were so impressed with the gay couple that we gave them an egg from a new mother who was unable to take care of it.

That's just fucking adorable. The parents sound like utter deadbeats. The gay penguin couple totally deserve to raise that baby. I'm glad they got given an egg to nurture. What a lovely story.
