Activists - polar cub should be PTS, not "humanized"

[sparks19]

Excuse me for being dumb but the line of thinking that a wonderful animal should be killed instead of raised in a zoo, just zooms right over my head!!!!

So should everyone who has a pet cat or dog let them go in the wild because they all used to be wild animals before their breeds were tamed?
Now, I know no one is going to keep a polar bear in their home but still that baby sure doesn't seem to be suffering to me. Ending a life (even an animal one) is not something to be done lightly.

What next? Killing human orphans?

NO.... apparently we should NOT release them... we should just kill them.

Sickening isn't it?

Brookfield Zoo had a cub (Tiguak) that was hand-raised after being abandoned by her mother. She did have to learn "bearness" from another bear about her same age. But the two of them were eventually relocated to the Zoo of Quebec in Canada - together. Another zoo should step in and provide the necessary care for this creature.

Now I've seen everything. What sort of activist does that guy claim to be? He certainly isn't for saving the species. The bear was born in a zoo was he not? To an animal that performed in a zoo? I just don't get his line of thinking.

This little bear is absolutely adorable!! I love him. I wish I could be the person to take care of him. At least I can dream

Please: nobody should think it is the Berlin zoo who thinks cutie Knut should be killed.
They were the ones having the guy installed who moved in with Knut and even spent Christmas and New Year's eve with him.
The zoo spokesman said - and you can read that in the articles- that this is all nonsense.
It is right that some activist's suggested it and the media spread it too much (because of course they know it would give an international uproar) - but nobody who is in charge thought so- and how could you.
If the weather is nice this weekend, little Knut will go out for the first time to see the public and half Berlin is raving about his cuteness

Dear little fella - he has as much right to life as anyone and if people can step in to help where his mum can't then that's fine by me. Too much senseless killing in the world already

I know it wasn't the Berlin Zoo... it was just some nut job.

I just hope (I'm sure they can) they can provide enough security to prevent these whackos from taking matters into their own hands. I would HATE HATE HATE to see anything bad happen to that poor sweet baby.

AND.... if these "activists" are all about natural life and natural death then they shouldn't be promoting death by lethal injection.... if they really thought he should live and die by the "bear code" then they should be suggesting he be released back into the wild and die naturally.

UGH.... it's just sickening to even think about.
