Has anyone seen this movie? I watched it last night and there was one thing that really stood out for me.

When an egg is laid, the mother penguin immediately transfers it over to the father. He tends to it, while the mother returns to the sea for food. She returns just after the chick has been born. Within a matter of a day, the bond between chick and mother is incredibly strong.

My question is, if we know this about penguin mothers and their chicks, why do so many not realize the bond between a baby and the woman who has carried that baby for 9 months, and why do so many not realize the grief a baby must experience because of being taken away from it's mother?

That is sort of a rhetorical question. I'm just curious to see if anyone else has seen the movie and if they related it to human mother/child bonding as I did.
