Whenever I forget why I prefer animals to most humans,
a story like this one pops up on my radar.

Search for purloined penguin takes dark turn:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10564932/

What kind of a piece of crap does such a thing.

Although I must say, one complete scumbag shouldn't ruin it for all the people trying to find the penguin and get him back home safe.

3. the nice thing about the UK
the whole country goes into an uproar whenever animal cruelty is involved. It get national attention.
and yes I think animals are so much better than people also.

But I think I'd make an exception for a piece o'shit like the asshole who did this.

11. Yeah, me too.

Nothing more innocent and helpless and vulnerable than an animal.

On edit: I know it's unrelated but I headed over to PETA's website last night after posting this and made my first donation, I just had to do something to make myself feel a little bit better after reading this story. Didn't really work but I don't regret donating anyway.
