Feathers are flying across the pond as British lawmakers are demanding the release of 15 black-and-white penguins “trapped” at a popular London aquarium.

The Gentoo penguins are being held in an enclosure at Sea Life London Aquarium — and angry critics charge the defenseless waddlers have no access to daylight or fresh air, and are living in too-shallow water, according to dozens of lawmakers who are pushing for change.

The parliament members signed a letter to Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds, pleading with her to “consider whether the penguins should be relocated to a more suitable facility better aligned with their behavioral, ecological and physiological needs,” according to NBC.
