Penguin pecked by organized gang

mannheim - An organized criminal gang is probably responsible for the theft of a baby penguin from a zoo in the German city of Mannheim.

Employees of the zoo noted Saturday that the penguin was no longer in its cage. They ransacked the residence and came to the conclusion that the animal could not escape himself.

'These probably are not going to those who found the penguin cute and wanted to take him home. In most cases, these specialized offenders who wish to export the animal. The buyers have their own Private zoo if they want to breed with the animal, 'said the director of the Association as the Zoologischer Garten (VDZ).
