Pete Doherty - Penguin Murderer?


Rocker Pete Doherty may have added penguin-murder to his long list of transgressions against decent society. Yes, I said penguin-murder. Dope-fiend Pete and his model girlfriend Kate Moss were at Cotswold Wildlife Park in Oxfordshire, England admiring the penguins when Pete decided it would be hilarious to toss a joint into the birds' pen. And what do you know - one of the animals picked the joint up in his beak and swallowed it. Witnesses said the penguin appeared "wobbly" afterward. But, eating the joint could have more dire consequences for the bird than a little euphoria and perhaps the munchies. Said an incensed zoo official, "Feeding a penguin cannabis could be fatal. It contains toxins that attack the nervous system and liver." The penguin then told the zookeeper to mellow out.
