I think that New Zealand should keep that penguin Happy Feet here in New Zealand in a zoo somewhere.

Two reasons

One he is lost and on his own and it seems unfair to send him back from a place he swam miles away from

Two he would be a great tourist draw. He is well know all over the world due to tv reports etc. Sort of like Paul the octopus.

I would donate a few dollars towards his food etc.

1223462 2011-08-15 21:15:00 Penguin shanks? It's cruel keeping wild animals, birds etc in captivity, how wouod you like it is someone chained you up against your will, oh yeah it's called work gary67 (56)
1223463 2011-08-15 21:21:00 It would be quite costly to keep him in NZ. One of the biggest costs would be keeping him in a refigerated climate as it seems anything above freezing and they start to suffer and not many facilitys in NZ have that kind of gear. I think the only place that could really take him is Kelly Taltons. I agree with Gary67s post.

EDIT: Dont they have polar bears at the zoo? this would be no different, less risky :)

Imagine his reception when he finally gets back home.
