Technically not but they have a pair of gay penguins they are going to spit up and try to breed them

Unlike humans, gay penguins with good genes can't just jerk off into a freezer for the good of the penguin species. Otherwise, gay penguins that don't breed sounds like a penguin issue to me.

They whack off pigs, bulls and dogs so why not a penguin.

The first article wrote:
The African penguin population, which is native to South Africa, was in the millions centuries ago, but has dropped quickly, and continues to decline by a rate of around 2% each year. In the late 1990’s there was a slight recovery of their population, with 224,000 in existence, but oil pollution and a decline in their natural food supply caused by commercial fishing are major threats to these penguins. Because the African penguins are endangered, Buddy and Pedro's keepers think it necessary to separate them for breeding.

Who the hell cares? They're stupid penguins. They'd forget about eachother's existence 10 minutes after being separated.

Who cares if they stay together. I think people are trying to make a bigger issue out of this than we need to be making. I feel meh about the whole thing.

This.

If a penguin was raised in an all-male flock and then paired with another male and given an egg to hatch together...wtf do you think is going to happen? This is a human-created situation.
Introduce some females and I'm sure they'd be fine.

99% of animals are retarded... they just run around, eat stuff, sleep, crap, bump into eachother, and hump things. There's no gay relationship here that is really disrupted.

Same-sex companionship among penguins is actually quite common. In 2009, Z and Vielpunkt, two male Humboldt penguins at Germany's Bremerhaven Zoo, became the proud parents of a healthy penguin chick hatched from an egg fertilized by another penguin couple.

Do you really place that high of an importance on the gay relationship of a couple of penguins? If so, how about proportionality to the astronomical costs of taking care of the penguins and trying to artificially perpetuate their species upto and including the alternative to natural breeding?

Shouldn't a lot of these ows protestors jump at this chance for lucrative employment? A lot of them have shown that they excel at jerking off all day, might as well save the penguins with that skill.

You know, of all the penguin "rights violations" that one can get upset over, I'm thinking there's a few more important ones that occur in a zoo.

I'm not so sure. I believe these penguins mate for life, so we're talking about two animals with a strong emotional bond being separated, which will most likely be extremely upsetting for them.

They should just introduce a couple of females and see what happens.

Doesn't work. They've tested this with gay penguins before. They aren't adapting to gender availability. They're actually homosexual. (I know where you're coming from. There's this misconception that heterosexual is somehow "natural" and homosexual is somehow "unnatural," but that's not the case. Apart from human behavior being natural in and of itself, we aren't the only species where a small minority has sexual preferences that are not heterosexual.)

However, I'm not overly concerned with the rights of non-humans, especially when one is attempting to save an entire species.

If penguins looked like homo sapiens but remained as dumb as penguins, they would be treated differently.
