Gay Penguins Hijack Lesbian Penguins’ Eggs And The Dutch Zoo Can Do Diddlysquat About the Daddy Squaters

Fuck. I am torn like Natalie Imbruglia about how to feel about this. On one hand, I cannot defend baby snatching in any way, shape, or form. HOWEVER, zoos across the globe are WOEFULLY behind in efforts to allow equal adoption opportunities. If that weren’t the case, maybe this doesn’t happen. 

For my lesbian penguin friends, I am gutted. They want a baby too. Hell, who doesn’t want a penguin baby? I know I do. Don’t believe me? Check the letters to Santa receipts circa 1991. I wasn’t ready at 9. Santa knee what he was doing ignoring my request no matter how good my behavior was that year. (Really really good) 

I remember the Winter Olympics of 2016 like it was only four years ago. Big Cat and I were captivated by a penguin whom we later found out was a stoolie. If you don’t remember the tale of DinDin, here is a refresher. Brick by brick DinDin.

Imagine if our beloved DinDin never got to feed his baby chick din-din. Tragic to say the least.

Furthermore, the Daily Mail’s article, they include a quote from the zoo keeper that left me in tears. “The egg is likely never to hatch because the egg will never be fertilized.”

It was at that very moment that I realized I have no idea what it takes to make a baby penguin. Something happens to the egg AFTER it’s laid? What?

With as little as I know about penguins, it is not my place to comment on the penguin baby making processes or the adoption therein- whether those adoptions/ traditional gestational methods be heterosexual or homosexual. I just hope everyone gets a baby penguin and I’ll leave it at that.
