Paul Goldstein, the photographer who captured the images in Kenya's Maasai Mara reserve in August, said many other species are known to engage in such behavior and that, for example, he had seen giraffes doing it.

"It was just a dramatic thing to see," Goldstein said of the male lions. He was astonished by Mutua's remarks, declaring it "not normal" and attributing the behavior to demonic possession, or copying what he clearly believes is amoral human behavior.

"These animals need counselling, because probably they have been influenced by gays who have gone to the national parks and behaved badly," said Mutua. "I don't know, they must have copied it somewhere or it is demonic. Because these animals do not watch movies."

"The demonic spirits inflicting in humans seems to have now caught up with the animals," the film classification board director said. "That is why I will say isolate the crazy gay animals."

What an idiot.

Animals in the wild obviously watch movies.

Exactly, how else are they going to learn "work the shaft while gently cupping the balls", from a demon?

Oh well then say no more. That’s certainly a higher scientific certification than anyone else who could have anything to say on the matter

Good luck, that guy. There are claims some 90% of giraffe sex is male on male.

First photographs of humpback sex was gay sex.

By Darwinism, homosexual behavior makes sense. Competition for resources (both reproductive access and food) leads to aggression, but a species where all the males kill each other will lack biodiversity. Physically weak male cuttlefish will camouflage as female to allow stronger get males to release on them, and then go take a female after. Things like this don’t happen unless they are beneficial. Bisexuality just makes sense, animals don’t give a shit about religions or morals and sex feeling good is going to be heavily selected for in most sexual species (notable exceptions being feline and ducks - the penis like thing that comes out of a cloaca is fucked up.)

Oh I had forgot about the whale thing. Thanks for the refresher.

Yes you make very good points. Unfortunately this is a sort of "if this kids could read, they'd be very upset" moment, as you're preaching to the quire here, and the people who can understand that usually also accept it.
