Penguin stolen in Mannheim, Germany

  • Hatschi by Hatschi

    Hi all!

    It's in all the news here. Someone has stolen a young Humboldt penguin from the Mannheim zoo. Can you imagine!?
    The poor penguin is very much in danger because it can't survive without its special food.

    The zoo is now reaching out to the public and asking the thieves to bring back the penguin before it is too late.

    Well, I don't think you have the penguin, just wanted to share.

    May the pebbles be with you

    Oh what terrible news. That poor bird must be so distressed. I hope that it is given up to the zoo as soon as possible. Let us know if you discover what happens next Hatschi.
    May the pebbles be with you, and the Humboldt 😃

    No news so far of penguin Nr. 53. They fear the worst 😦

    😦 Why oh why take a penguin from its sanctuary? Seems very odd. I hope that the penguin is safe and that no more are stolen.

    They found Nr. 53. Unfortunately the little penguin (about 9 months old) didn't survive its ordeal 😦 .

    The person who has taken the penguin away is still not found. The police reaches out to the public for witnesses and PETA offered a reward of 1000 EUR.

    So sad! Everybody is wondering why anyone would steal a penguin. 😦
