Sick Antarctic seal in sex romp shocker!

I was very disturbed by the tale from Antarctica that came across my desk this morning. The headline from the BBC says it all really:

'Sex pest' seal attacks penguin

This seal refused to comment on the Antarctic incident

All that I can say is that I sincerely hope that counselling has been offered to all parties, and that this obviously sick and confused seal is brought to justice.

The BBC report is almost as funny as your post.
P.S. Your comment is answered over on my blog with a link for you.

Hi Kris - what a hoot. He has obviously been reading too many "sealed" sections in Cosmo magazines!!!!

Re "vengeance" Yes it is a part of the culture here but instead of violence here it is usually monetary compensation that is required these days, although in the Highlands and other areas it can be more deadly!!!!

Kris, be careful - there are a lot of penguinist press articles these days and, while I decry seal chauvinism, we have to try and keep a balanced perspective. That seal may well have been abused by penguins when he was younger. Or, though I hesitate to suggest it, the penguin may have "asked for it" by licentious squawks or other provocative behaviour. We must also remember that the seal was characterized as juvenile while the penguin was an adult, so who was the abuser and who was the abused? Ultimately, however, this really seems to be none of our business.

Thanks for answering my questions Dina and Jules.

Babooshka, remember that it isn't all seals, just some sick deranged ones that act this way.

Benjamin, you raise a couple of good points, but as Dr Phil says (in Texan drawl) "this seal needs to take ownership of his actions, ain't nobody but him gonna do that" (cue applause).

Thiên, oh stop! (Please don't stop!)

This made me chuckle -- I love the black mark across the eyes to protect the identity! :-)

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

Something unpleasant is coming when men are anxious to tell the truth.

This is the moon. Have I mentioned how much I adore the zoom on my camera? It's Theme Thursday you see, and after last week's limp effort, I have been thinking about how I might redeem myself. Then I clicked on the topic and discover that it was BUTTON. We've been hearing a lot about the moon in the past couple of weeks. Apparently some fellas went up there and played golf and what-not forty-odd years ago. The desire to get to the moon, however, was not simply about enhancing opportunities for Meg and Mog titles and skirting local planning by-laws in the construction of new and innovative golf courses. No, all of your Sputniks , "One small steps" and freeze dried ice cream was about one thing , and one thing only : MAD Now, I don't mean mad in terms of "bloke breaks record for number of scorpions he can get up his bum", no I mean MAD as in Mutual assured destruction . When I was a young man you see, there was a lot of talk about the type of m...

Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it...

I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral...

This will hurt me...
