Buddy and Pedro are two male penguins who are extremely close. The Toronto Zoo decided to break up the relationship during breeding season so that each would make with a female.
There was a huge outcry and the Zoo has decided otherwise.
Most of the video reports on this situation are either snickering or seeming fake: I’d have a hard time believing this one if it weren’t verifiable. And remember, the separation is now off.
I’ve heard of this before with penguins. Wikipedia supplies a list of other animals:

Meanwhile, we happily murder (and separate!!1) chickens by the billions.
Ah well.. I guess a good deed is good regardless of the hypocrisy it exposes.
