pretty sad, actually:
Rare Penguin Stolen from Sanctuary
LONDON (Reuters) - Thieves stole a rare penguin called Piglet from a sea life center in northeast England and dumped it in a garden, police said Tuesday.
Its donkey-like braying was heard more than a mile from its home and worried residents rang the Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary.
Staff say Piglet, a female Humboldt penguin from South America, may die from the stress of being moved and must now take a course of antibiotics.
"They are extremely susceptible to certain illnesses," curator Paul Bullimore said. "I would be surprised if she survives." Police said the flightless bird was taken late Sunday from an enclosure surrounded by two fences in what was probably a "sick prank."
