        So you know that same sex penguins can’t produce a baby no matter how ideologically devoted to NPR. Asking. For. A. Friend.

        They fostered another penguins egg because she had two and could only properly care for one . Read the story

        Humanizing? Never seen a penguin treat other penguins the way we treat people. So, START PEGIUNIZING US. I thought all caps was a necessary part of any good rant.

        Ah, so the zoo staff actually stole an egg from a female bird. Not the heart-warming story the headline implies.

        Nope. Still heartwarming. They took an egg from a penguin that laid 2 but could only care for 1. A chick has survived that otherwise would not have - thanks to the excellent parenting skills of these two fathers.

        They are 2 penguins in the same cage helping a baby penguin born of a REAL couple. They aren’t a same sex couple. What a ridiculous narrative to push a ridiculous modern man-made agenda. Society desperatley needs to learn from Romans 1.

        You desperately need to read the NPR story: the two penguins were a mated pair and engaged in nesting behavior before the humans got involved.

        Mated no. Mating occurs between a male and female. They are forced in a cage together. It is also quite common for males to sit on eggs and warm them for the mother. This is an absurd and ridiculous spin to push a ridiculous agenda.

        Can you please stop this is not a same-sex penguin couple. It is two male penguins whose job it is to raise the baby that were put together by humans. Two males can have a baby unless they steal an egg. Period

        Great story. Hard format to read though. That might explain a few comments you're getting (from those who clearly have not read the story.)
