Some people are just stupid

It is feared that Toga the baby penguin is dead, after somebody rang a TV company saying they had dumped the body in Portsmouth dockyard. The theory behind the theft and abduction of the baby penguin, is that somebody saw the current film 'March of the Penguins' and decided they wanted one of their own. It is always the same - a film featuring an animal or bird comes out, and there is a surge of 'wannabe' owners - it was very apparent when the Harry Potter films came out - loads of people wanted an owl as a 'pet'!! In the meantime, it is a shame for Toga - but now, even if he is found alive and well, the likelihood of being rejected by his mother is now very high.
