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'. |
