I really like one of the comments made:  "talk about a clear case of anthropomorphisation".  Absolutely true.   Let me take a wild stab here:  these activists belong to PETA, right?  Buncha bozos.

Well, seeing that these may be the same idiots who claim humans are parasites and should be exterminated so Earth can recover - I'm not surprised that they are this extreme in their views.

I wouldn't want to bottle feed him when he's fully grown ! :giantgrin:

On another point if he wasn't cute and furry I don't honestly think anybody would give a shit whether he was put down or not.

Sad but true.

[sarcasm] It's unnatural to save animals from extinction, so we should kill them all off or allow them to die rather than intervene. [\sarcasm]

Hey, that's nothing.  At least no one has to breastfeed the cub. ;)

PETA - People Euthanizing and Terrorizing Animals.

Since the poor cub was abandoned by it's mother and was going to die in the wild anyway, I don't see how saving it's life is anything but good.  Aren't Polar Bears under threat of extinction?

How could killing another one be logical in any way?

If PETA wants their cause to be taken seriously, (stopping the torture of medical and cosmetic experiments on animals)  they'd better start picking their examples a bit better.

That's like a suicide bomber who blows up a toy store to prove how victimized his race is.

i have no idea how photo of knut in first post turned into a watch!) ...............................
My, how you've grown Knut
 
Four months ago a cuddle from Knut the baby polar bear was a fluffy nuzzle.

These days he's a little more boisterous. And so are his bear hugs.

 



Knut has been hand-raised by Doerflein and other zoo staff after his mother rejected him and another cub that died


Welcome to the bear pit: Knut cuddles up to a brave Thomas Doerflein


The cub that became Berlin Zoo's star attraction after being rejected by his mother is growing up fast.
Keeper Thomas Doerflein, who has been hand-rearing Knut, believes the carefree days of tumbling around with him in his den could soon be over.
At a hefty 92lb, Knut is simply too powerful to play with.
"He now sometimes has temper tantrums when he's hungry or when he wants something and doesn't get it," Mr Doerflein said.
"Then he gives me a really good bite. He is, after all, a predator."
Knut became a household name in Germany after animal rights campaigners claimed he would be better off killed than raised by humans.
Pictures of the adorable ball of Arctic fuzz melted hearts the world over.
A million visitors have flocked to the zoo to see him, making him its most popular attraction.

There was a special recently about a similarly raised polar bear cub, now grown, in Japan. Cute little fur balls. They found out that puppy formula worked best, and that seal formula didn't work--too much fat.
