A group of animal rights activists are trying to block the building of a new Ferris Wheel on the claim that it could potentially disturb the Rhinos in the Berlin Zoo thus interrupting their mating habits.

Article on CNN: Big wheel 'would upset rhino sex'.

QUOTE
A group of investors has unveiled plans to erect a 175-meter high wheel for 120 million euros ($158.9 million) in the German capital, hoping to attract millions of visitors from 2008.

But animal rights activists oppose the project, saying the fully-illuminated wheel would disturb the rhinos' daily routine.
