So when two male chimps hug it isn't friendly or affectionate? Was it a hate-hug? The start of a greco-roman wrestling match?

johnnieconnie: I need more coffee, because I thought it said clubbing gay animals.

/and my reading glasses

I thought it said shagging.

Cythraul: Given his delicate accent, I always assumed he was a gay animal.

Don't get that at all.

Richard Simmons, now that's a manly beast.

So an attention WHORE calls out the BBC most joyfully funny and  entertaining  voice over for reading the copy . Come on he in his 80's and does voice overs .  Looks to be a slow news day so far.

He's probably committed some kind of ridiculous hate crime in the U.K. by his actions.

So long as the chimps dont kiss, it's totally not gay

I've personally witnessed hot drake-on-drake action in the wild. This is only tangentially relevant, but I like to throw it out there when homophobes claim mankind is the only species that exhibits homosexuality.

Gays can be so solipsistic.

That's not super, but thanks for asking.

David Attenborough narrates the loving hug a giant centipede gives a bat.

give me doughnuts: So when two male chimps hug it isn't friendly or affectionate?

Apparently Mr Mills thinks every animal interaction is sexual. I think he may be the one with the problem.

Does everything HAVE to be about your agenda?

/comment applicable to multiple situations

I thought I had a gay fish, but it was a fluke.

I searched for this Dr Brett Mills fellow and this from 2010 came up...

"At the heart of the documentary project is the necessity for animals to be seen. Dr Mills suggests that this necessity itself raises a series of ethical concerns, but these seem to be sidelined in the moral debates surrounding wildlife documentaries. The use of sophisticated aerial technology to film animals, for example, is justified because it does not disturb them, yet the question of whether it is appropriate to film animals in this way is not raised. Underpinning such action is an assumption that animals have no right to privacy, and that the camera crew have no need to determine whether those animals consent to being filmed."

I raise you with gay duck necrophilia, gay sheep, and lesbian cows.
The gay duck necrophilia also has a video but it's an academic one.

So what freaky new sex act is "snubbing" code for?

Funny people are more concerned about "his dissing gay animals" and not his lying about 3.5c temp increase in Africa over last 20 years... but gay animals totally more important than exposing man-made global warming pyramid scheme

'Attention whoring twit' status confirmed!

/GBTPETA, Brett.

are those chimps slapping each other on the back when they hug? If so, acceptable bro hug. If not, teh gey.

Interesting fact: David Attenborough is the brother of Sir Richard Attenborough, who played John Hammond in Jurrasic Park.

Frankenstorm: I thought I had a gay fish, but it was a fluke.

that's a red herring.

Athropomorphization.

Ever heard of it?  Here's a hint:  The term "Gay" is a human concept.

Like i gonna believe some boffin then Attenborough AND Freeman tells be what animals are not perverts

Marcus Aurelius: Joe Blowme: Funny people are more concerned about "his dissing gay animals" and not his lying about 3.5c temp increase in Africa over last 20 years... but gay animals totally more important than exposing man-made global warming pyramid scheme

Funny, I did not know that Attenborough was a climate scientist.

Hes not but he played one on the BBC series Africa

Term "Gay" is used by TFA, not by scientists

Those animals aren't gay, they're British.

. . .while male sandpiper birds filmed circling each other were being "aggressive".

These are birds animals. Aggressive and sexual behaviors are not mutually exclusive. What is this dude's problem?

Valiente: Those animals aren't gay, they're British.

I thought British meant asexual.

/slightly confused

Those disingenuous, self-centered gays!

To be honest, animals farking is more enchanting than climate data.

I cant disagree with that, especially the monkeys flinging poo

When political correctness goes a tad too far

/won't somebody think of the gay fish?!

If he's not a climate scientist, I would advise you to not pay any attention to anything he says about global warming.  But then that's just me.

Can i assume Al Gore and all the other non-climatologists can be ignored as well? Ill stick with the "Father of Climatology" Reid Bryson

No Time To Explain: When political correctness goes a tad too far

you like putting fish sticks in your mouth?

the gay agenda has moved on to animal commentators.  Fabulous

Only if it's consensual

It's like a "Gay Steamroller", literally.
