A zoo in Berlin is bottle feeding a cute lil polar bear. Animal activists think it's a gross violation of bear dignity and think the baby bear should be slaughtered.

Quote:
"Feeding by hand is not species-appropriate but a gross violation of animal protection laws," animal rights activist Frank Albrecht was quoted as saying by the mass-circulation Bild daily, which has featured regular photo spreads tracking fuzzy Knut's frolicking.

"The zoo must kill the bear."


Remember, PETA thinks pet ownership should be 100% stopped.

The way things are going, wild polar bears will be extinct within a few decades anyway due to the melting arctic ice cap.

So we may as well have some captive ones to keep the species alive..

You shouldn't be surprised. PETA has been accursed of being a cult, after all.

Nazi-activists.

A movement which like most, perhaps started out with some good ideas & contributors, however before too long found itself subverted & hijacked by provocateurs & professional extremists.

I am not a fan of PETA. Look, this comment about letting a bear die is like saying a child who is abandoned should die. It doesn't make sense.
If a bear can be saved, there is no harm done. He is a very beautiful polar bear.

It's juvenile I know, but I can't make it past the sentence where they say 'fuzzy knuts'.
