Polar bear Knut's zookeeper is dead! (Sad Knut article #8)

[Randi]

Oh Kirsten, that is so sad, and such a shock to his family.

Rest in Peace, Thomas! You were one of a kind and will always be remembered for your wonderful care for Knut.

That is so sad. He was an awesome parent to Knut.

I also read that he had been ill for a long time. I am glad that he had that opportunity to live with little Knut for a while.

The Sun has a very sad article on Knut:

Unbearable

Seems like he was already a very unhappy bear, greedy for attention and missing his keeper. And now he will never see him again. Really sad!

I hope Knut can be rehabilitated.

I know zoos don't have a lot of money - but I hope that some of the money that Knut brought in (it was considerable, according to one of the stories) will be used towards his care.

There is a scary pic of him snarling at a child (through glass, thank goodness).

Rehabilitation may be the only way to save his life.

RIP, Thomas.

Poor, poor Knut! I would be his friend!
