    I know! The mentality of some people is beyond me! According to it if he isn't returned by thursday he doesn't stand a chance of surviving. I also saw reports in the papers of people hunting and shooting polar bears for fun (sport, as they call it!) at £15,000 a time? These animals are on the verge of extinction for crying out loud. The people doing this should be hunted down and shot! Anyway, hope they get the penguin back.

    It really upsets me with the stupidity of people. I honestly think someone should start a sport for shooting idiots for sport and see how they like it. Maybe it could become an olympic event. As for the penguin well what can I say apart from they should be strung up by their balls...:eek:

    apparently they received a phonecall from someone claiming that they had nicked him, and that they had thrown him in the sea in a carrier bag.

    Either this is a joke, or the real deal - either way its sick.

    poor penguin - apparently his parents have been calling out to him and getting distressed when they get no response.
