As ...To help or not to help, that is the question.<br /><br />As the DOC spokesperson said in this interview (http://www.abc.net.au/worldtoday/content/2011/s3250206.htm): "Because it's come this far north, it's now been introduced to diseases - exotic diseases. The last thing we want to do is take those diseases back to the Emperor Penguin colonies in Antarctica."<br /><br />If he/she sticks around for a week or more, do we "save" Peka and take him/her "home" and risk the lives of thousands of less adventurous emperors, or do we find him another home (some sub-Antarctic Island? Chch's Antarctic Centre - heaven forbid?) or are we rational and cold-hearted enough to let nature take its course?<br /><br />It's a compelling narrative. Only time will tell if it's one suitable for a children's book!Craig Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04683220586520558481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706588639740998982.post-39836077651173308282011-06-22T20:49:55.319+12:002011-06-22T20:49:55.319+12:00What will happen to Peka?
