"Frank Albrecht, an animal rights campaigner, had started the debate in the mass-circulation Bild newspaper by declaring the zoo was violating animal protection legislation by keeping him alive.

"If truth be told, the zoo should have killed the baby bear." "

cats do need baths moron! have you ever had a cat??

of course they shouldnt kill it, there arent enough left as it is. people are just making a fuss over Knut because he's the first polar bear to be raised by humans, while various big cats such as lion cubs and panda cubs have long been raised this way.

agree with nihilist, seriously what's the point of this?

To Alex

I hate it when people throws in the o' Dogs are eaten in China or Korea line like its an irrefutable fact. If you watched the whale burger video, you would know that whale eating originated in post war japan when the people were poor and resources were scarce. Same goes for dogs and other asian countries- they were only eaten during the war/post war era when people were starving and there were little else to eat.

Whale eating is such a controversy not because its about where do you draw the line, at horses or at pigs, but because many whale species are endangered
