Polish Zoo Bought Gay Elephant

The Poznan zoo in western Poland spent about 13 Million dollars to have one of the best elephant exhibits in Europe, and they had visions of having their very own herd of thundering elephants one day. And then someone went and bought a gay elephant and pissed everyone off, including the other male elephants that keep trumpeting “Dude! Dude!! Stop it!” whenever Ninio the gay elephant gets horny. Speaking of surprised, the kids in this video are screaming from trauma watching these elephants party on the playground…

From Reuters here:

A Polish politician has criticised his local zoo for acquiring a “gay” elephant named Ninio who prefers male companions and will probably not procreate.

“We didn’t pay 37 million zlotys (7.6 million pounds) for the largest elephant house in Europe to have a gay elephant live there,” the pol said. “We were supposed to have a herd, but as Ninio prefers male friends over females how will he produce offspring?”

In these tough economic times, can any zoo afford to feed a huge animal that refuses to procreate? Can’t they just turn him into piano keys and umbrella stands? Seriously, if you were a chicken farmer and you found out your rooster was gay, you would have to kill it, right? What’s the difference besides the size here and the fact that Ninio thinks peanuts are “Fabulooouuusss!!”

Fudge-pachyderm. There, I said it.
