«Breaking News» PETA fury at event offering people the chance to ice skate alongside live penguins

An animal rights organisation has slammed plans for an event which would see humans skate alongside Humboldt penguins.

Adventurous Londoners will have the opportunity to share a rink with five Humboldt penguins at the Queens Skate Dine Bowl, in West London. 

Whether you have the skills of Torvill and Dean or your skating techniques are parallel to Bambi on ice, skaters of all abilities will have the chance to ice skate with the penguins later this month.

The cute animals will waddle onto the rink located near Bayswater Station on Saturday January 19. However PETA has slammed the event organisers and said that the penguins will ‘experience stress’ due to the amount of humans that will be present.

The penguins are set to make their debut at the Ice Rink later this month 

They will take centre stage of the rink, enclosed in their own purpose built pen where a hip height barrier will separate them from the other skaters.

Guests will have the chance to come face to face with the penguins between 4-8pm, though it will be adults only after 7pm.

There will also be rink side viewing available for £5 with all profits going towards BirdLife international, a bird conservation charity.

Donation to the charity will also be welcome on the day, with the skate sessions being in honour of Penguin Awareness Day.

Despite the plans for the event, animal rights organisation PETA has slammed the organisers and has penned a letter to the manager of the venue proposing that they cancel the event, saying that the animals will ‘experience stress in the presence of humans’.

The letter reads: ‘We hope you'll agree that a busy, noisy venue such as yours, filled with bright lights and excited children and adults, is an entirely unsuitable environment for penguins or any other animals. Humboldt penguins belong in the cold water and on the rocky islands off the coast of South America, not at an entertainment venue in London.’

A similar event had also taken place at Broadgate Ice Rink in 2011

The organisation’s director, Elisa Allen then goes onto say that the penguins ‘don't habituate well to life in captivity’.

‘What's more, Humboldt penguins, in particular, are known to experience stress in the presence of humans. They don't habituate well to life in captivity, much less to being toted around and displayed.

‘We urge you to follow the examples of famed London toy shop Hamleys and Nottingham's intu Broadmarsh shopping centre, both of which cancelled plans to include penguins in their events after a public outcry and now refrain from featuring similar displays.

‘There are many other ways to attract customers that would not compromise animal welfare.’

The venue has not yet responded to the request.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
