Gay Penguins Prompt Animal Sex Debate

A new study into the sexual behaviour of penguins in New York published this week, revealed that numerous penguins not only carry on long term human style relationships but also recognise other penguins' sexual preferences from afar.

The study focused on two Central Park male penguins called Roy and Silo, who the New York Times said have been happily dating each other for a number of years.

"When offered female companionship, they have adamantly refused it," said The Times.

"And the females aren't interested in them, either."

In more sinister animal sex news, Swedish vets revealed last week that between 200 and 300 pets a year are injured by humans practising bestiality, according to data collected across the country.

"We have seen an increase since 1999 when child pornography became illegal," Swedish vet specialist Johan Beck-Friis told Norwegian channel TV2.

"It appears, in other words, as there are some people who have replaced children with animals. In both circumstances, it is sex with defenceless individuals." (AVN News)
