Insider account #3 and #4: Penguin chick deaths

One insider reported a penguin chick dying at around one week old and told Freedom for Animals it was because the staff were “unable to feed it”. The death was put down in part to staff inexperience. Previously, another penguin born at the same centre was allegedly trampled to death during a late night event at the aquarium. Staff had reportedly warned that the noise could disrupt the penguins but the warnings went unheeded.
