One of my dumb ass classmates from high school and some of her dumb ass friends have their pants all in a bunch over those hardcore right wing Canadian Scientists breaking up a loving gay penguin couple.

Now the gay-penguin issue has raised its, er, beak again with the news that the Toronto Zoo is planning to split up a pair of male African penguins named Buddy and Pedro.
The feathered friends came to the zoo from Toledo, Ohio, and quickly formed a close bond. They pair off from their group of 12 every night, and even display signs of mating rituals. They make mating calls to each other, groom each other, defend each other’s territory and basically hang out together. A lot.

“They seem to be in a loving relationship of some sort,’’ Joe Torzsok, chairman of the Toronto zoo board, told the Toronto Star.

One of her friends said “This is ridiculous!!!”
To which I responded “No what is ridiculous is that its even a story. If theose two male penguins are treating each other as mates then they are not mating with females to propogate the species which is what they were sent to the zoo to do. You need to start reading past the headlines”
I then added a quote from the story.
But soon Buddy will have to get along without his best buddy. Duty calls: African penguins are endangered, and 10-year-old Pedro and 20-year-old Buddy happen to be carrying some very nice genes under those tuxedos they wear.
Bottom line: For the good of their species – which has dwindled from millions to about 224,000 – Buddy and Pedro are going to have to try to learn some new moves. Good luck, guys!
