Two amorous donkeys who were separated because of an outcry over their lovemaking have been reunited at a zoo in Poland.

Napoleon and Antosia, who have been together for 10 years, got into trouble when mothers expressed outrage that children had to witness their mating.

Local conservative official Lydia Dudziak took up their cause and persuaded the director of the Poznan zoo to have the animals put in separate pens. That prompted nearly 7,000 people to sign a petition to have them reunited, and the couple are now in one single pen.
