People should be aware that Mr. Doerflein has given up almost all of his private life when he raised Knut, for more than 7 months now. I think it's time for him to get a bit of his life back. And as you said, he will still care for Knut, but these playing sessions are getting too dangerous.

I hope Knut will be fine. He is still too small and young to be with his polar bear family, they wouldn't accept him. When he's older, he will go to another zoo where he will hopefully have some female company, and maybe have babies. I hope he'll be able to be with other polar bears. I don't know how hard it would be for him to live on his own all the time, as polar bears are loners. But right now, he's too young and little to be alone.
