Knut, a baby polar bear, should be killed, say some animal activists
Knut is a cute baby Polar Bear at the Berlin Zoo. (First one born there in over 30 years.) He was rejected by his mother so he is being raised by humans and some people want him dead. Luckily the zoo will not hear of such a thing. What do you think? I think Knut should live. I don't see the harm.

This isn't so much of a poll as it is a discussion thread, so I think this belongs better in Other Chat.

I find it highly ironic that the "animal rights" activists obviously don't have the animal's best interests in mind.
|
is this crazy or what!
Just how can any "animal activist/rights advocate" want to have any animal killed?
This world is going totally nonsense, really... |
Why is it only not okay to kill animals that are cute. Honestly, if it were a naked mole rat that could tap dance it would not be the same situation, I assure you.
|
How can these animal activists which claims to love and care for animals decide on thier own free will that this bear must be killed? Once again, the fate of an animal lies in the hands of human beings. We are the caretakers here, so why should we put down something that is living and not grant the polar bear an opportunity to live? They should start to think about the welfare of animals in the world and not about their own agenda mixed with politics.
|
I can see putting it to sleep if it were seriously injured or incapable of living comfortably but...just because it's not living naturally like other bears is meaningless; it's still perfectly healthy despite being raised by human hand. I don't agree with this at all.
I am surprised to hear it's happened before with other animals, however. I mean, I know it's not "natural" to be fully dependent on zookeepers but...it's not like they're going to be out in the wild anyway if they're raised to be kept in containment at the zoo. I'm not sure I understand what the big deal is. o_o; |
The activists should first criticize themselves why they're using manmade electronic products and visiting the supermarket for food instead of hunting for them like what 'nature intended them to be.'
Seriously... great if they can live on their own, but if they can't, then we just kill them off? Pandas basically leech off humans now with only less than 100 of them in the wild to reproduce with biologists' help in order to withstand extinction... nobody complained about them huh >>; It's just one of those things where when you get too famous, *somebody* will want you to die or sue you for billions, even if you are an animal and not a famous human being. |
Let the little bugger live for god sakes. What's the harm? o.o
|
I think the idea of putting him to sleep is just absurd and shouldn't even be thought of. Like Lightning said, he shouldn't just be killed because he has been brought up by humans.
|
Living things are here for a reason, and everyone has the right to live. It's just too bad a lot if people doesn't appreciate what only Earth has that no other planet does.
|
Well, if the mother doesn't want it, I don't see the use of it for humans. But truthfully, I am indifferent in this situation. Live or die, I don't care. I feel more on the animal activist side though.
... UH I MEAN. He is the kawaii-whatever-desu! He shouldn't be killed! ) ' : |
Yeah, let's kill off an animal that's already rapidly heading towards extinction, good call there Animal rights guys.
Why in God's name would you kill an animal because humans are caring for it? It's still a Polar Bear. |

But then, I really have no idea how zoos work. XD |
Haha, I forgot that this -was- some whole zoo thingy. Just remember, I won't mind when some kid is chucking a few peanuts at it.
|
Most zoos have banned stuff like that. You can only feed animals on special attractions in England now. Not sure about Germany though.
|
I've heard of loads of cases like this, there should be something to sort this situation before the baby animla can get even moe stressed. Because more than one time or another, I've saw a baby animal get rejected by it's Mother. And sometimes I've saw it get put to sleep, and sometimes I have saw humans raising it.
Yes, humans CAN raise it, but it would take a lot of effort to be brought into the world like all the others, with no mother, and just humans to guide it through the world. If I would of been in that position, I swear I'd be lost. o_o; But then again, if humans have enough dedication to bring the Knut by itself, then they should, it shouldn't be left out like this. |

thats like saying if some kid got abonded by his mother and was raised by a family of chimps we will kill him!
<lets all go kill tarzan and george!> and they call themselfs animal whatever activists |
I saw it on the News, yes the news :laugh: . It looked really cute and acted like an over excited puppy! As if! They shouldn't kill it just because it dosen't know how to be a Polar Bear, it's not like it's going to be released into the wild at all! It could be a movie star!

._. I say let it live. Give it a chance~ |
Shift thinks Knut shouldn't die unless he's killed a human or did something else that was really bad.
|
:O
HE'S NOT NATURAL! HE'S GOTTA DIE NOW!!! Seriously, what the hell? It's stupid for these people to want to kill it just because it wasn't raised 100% naturally. Humans never cease to amaze me with new displays of idiocy... |
Precisely. Compare Knut with a human being such as ourselves. If the human wasn't raised naturally, let's say, the human was raised by wolves. Would we kill them? Shift thinks not.
