Big wheel 'would upset rhino sex'
POSTED: 1326 GMT (2126 HKT), December 12, 2006
BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) -- German animal rights activists have launched a campaign against plans to put up a giant ferris wheel in Berlin, saying it would disturb the sex lives of rhinos in a nearby zoo.
A group of investors has unveiled plans to erect a 175-meter high wheel for 120 million euros ($158.9 million) in the German capital, hoping to attract millions of visitors from 2008.
But animal rights activists oppose the project, saying the fully-illuminated wheel would disturb the rhinos' daily routine.
"We're worried that these endangered animals won't breed any more, which would hamper animal protection programs," Berlin's animal rights association said in a statement.
The planned Berlin wheel would be higher than the London Eye, which claims to be the world's tallest observation wheel at 135 meters, according to its Web site.

Copyrights are a tool used by The Man to keep us down! Don't you see that the concept of 'private property' is an artificial creation of our evil-Jewish-capitalist-right wing-fascist-neoliberal-neoconservative regime, and that property is exploitative of both nature and humankind?
All property should be socialized. WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!
Sorry, I guess I just miss Worldwide. What happened to him anyway? |

So is it true that when male rhinos become fathers they pass out Savanna cigars?

Hang on -- Has anybody actually done a poll yet to test the pent-up demand for a "Rhino Sex Forum"?

| I want to know what researcher spent time investigating the sex lives of rhinos and how he/she went about finding out that rhinos can't get it up when there is a big wheel in view. And don't rhinos have really bad vision? |
