Politician fumes over "gay" elephant in zoo

Fri Apr 10, 1:34 PM

WARSAW (Reuters) - A Polish politician has criticized his local zoo for acquiring a "gay" elephant named Ninio who prefers male companions and will probably not procreate, local media reported Friday.

"We didn't pay 37 million zlotys ($11 million) for the largest elephant house in Europe to have a gay elephant live there," Michal Grzes, a conservative councilor in the city of Poznan in western Poland, was quoted as saying.

"We were supposed to have a herd, but as Ninio prefers male friends over females how will he produce offspring?" said Grzes, who is from the right-wing opposition Law and Justice party.

The head of the Poznan zoo said 10-year-old Ninio may be too young to decide whether he prefers males or females as elephants only reach sexual maturity at 14.

Only if they say "I accept Jesus Christ as my personal saviour"...and they're willing to accept everything Father Dobson & Pat Robertson say blindly without any critical thought processes involved. No matter how hypocritical, contradictory, ...or immoral.

...oh, ...and they have to be willing to put a few peanuts in the collection plate every once in a while.

Forgive me for not knowing the subtle differences, nuances, and connotations of mindless bigotted practices that are essentially rooted in ignorance & hatred. Not surprised you are well versed in these. I've observed right wingers are often connoisseurs of such pastimes. Hagee would love you, ...that is if he wasn't cured.

He's got a right to be pissed.

A gay elephant is totally useless to someone wanting a herd?

That elephant is "useless as tits on a boar hog" to them. It being useless has nothing to do with homosexuality.

If I owned a zoo and paid 11 mil for an elephant that won't re-produce. I'd be P/O too.

...

Can't they do artificial insemination? problem solved?

EXACTLY but to jag et al...this guy is simply a homophobe

I would imagine you could unless there is something about elephants that for some reason would stop you...

LOL, Jag... he's not passing moral judgment on the elephant, for hell's sakes... he's pissed that the zoo spent $11M on an elephant that won't reproduce and they won't get a herd like they wanted. That's not so hard to understand... Or is it???

Anyway, let's cross our fingers that Ninio is just a sexual "late bloomer" and he'll figure out that he likes girls in a few more years.

Perhaps if you were an animal breeder, ...but as a zoo owner, wouldn't you make money on the ticket sales of people who came to the zoo to see the elephant? Infact, a gay elephant should be considered a blessing. just think of the box office value... "Come one come all, see Nonio, the gay elephant!". think about how many people would pay money everyday to go see the elephant, on the odd chance they might see nonio getting friendly with another bull?

Thanks to you, I realize he's not a homophobe, ...he's just an anti-gay bigot!

Ever seen the size of an elephant's member? Trying to manipulate it could leave a very bad taste in your mouth

I know how scared you of having another bad taste experience.

..and then too, trying to artificially inseminate a cow, ...can be fraught with many perils.

There are other factors that need to be taken into account that i and probably you know little about, you like to be a smart ass and try and be cute but that doesnt make your argument any less ludicrous it simply makes you look childish and ignorantly naive.

If there are other factors that you admittedly claim to know little about, ...how do you know they even exist?

It's not the zoo screaming they can't artificially inseminate a cow,
...it's a right wing politician screaming the zoo's elephant is gay.

And Barney Frank wouldn't be the least bit impressed with me, ...he's gay remember?

if you do the slightest research before jumping at the oppurtunity to call a person a homophobe

you would see that apparently its somewhat complicated with varying success and fairly expensive too.

This isnt about this guy being anti gay its about paying that much for an elephant that might not breed b/c its gay.

Oh frank would be very happy with you he too jumps at the oppurtunity to call someone a homophobe.

Dude,

I already conceded that homophobe may not have been the most appropriate word. Like you said: He's anti-gay.
