Knut the Polar Bear Dies

[Anita18]

Between the vet's opinion and that of PETA, I am going to go with the vet.

Especially since PETA didn't really get a chance to observe Knut before spouting off.

Sad though, he was a great ambassador. I had forgotten that his human "mother" died suddenly in 2008 too. Poor baby.

Thanks for the article, Beefcake. I'm not against animals in zoos (good zoos, anyways-- where they're properly treated, etc. etc., though that's always up for debate on its own).

Yes. Ironically timely ... here is the flip side of zoos -- a report today on the "lives" (such as they are/were) and deaths of animals in the Kiev Zoo.

Warning: Very disturbing ... read at your own heart's peril

If humans want to see wild animals, the humans should be put in cages on wheels and driven through forests, wild nature, etc.....

Zoos are EVIL. Nature Reserves where animals run free, but are protected and observed, are another story...
