This is no April fool's joke! The zoo of Berlin has decided that Knut, the famous polar bear who died on March 19, will be stuffed and displayed in a museum. I think this is so perverted and gross, it would hurt his dignaty, and many peoples' feelings, too.
Please sign a petition that has been started by his fans. It will be send to the zoo directors. The text is in German, but it wouldn't hurt if they see that people worldwide are concerned about Knut. The petition asks to give Knut a burial in dignity. It also links to a Facebook page and a Facebook group that is against the zoo's plans of Knut being stuffed.
Here's the petition's link:

BTW, the cause of Knut's death was a viral encephalitis, as they have now announced. I'm sure he felt very ill in his last days or weeks, and I wonder why no one had noticed! My heart breaks for poor Knut!!
