saving the bear

Save Knut!

In all the flurry about the furry, adorable polar cub, many ignore the larger question: Should the "animal rights" activist be put down? Clearly, he has not been reared properly amongst the Germans and is not fitting into his Natural Habitat. He probably doesn't like beer or Fassbinder films or even a good Riesling, for heaven's sake.

Save the Polar Bear, Save the World!

Animals similarly rejected by their mothers in captivity have in the past been killed

How would the activist feel if we expanded this practice to include human children neglected or abandoned by their mothers? I know where I'd like to start.

This describes me?! Maybe I should be put down. Oh wait, I am only a quarter German.

Never mind.

OK, I get his point about the poor wee adorable baby bear eventually being put behind bars and separated from those he's grown to know as family, sure. But there are surely other alternatives than "let's keeeel eeet!"? Or, if he's researched it thoroughly and found that there aren't, there surely must be a more rational explanation that he could give than just "hi, I'm an animal rights activist, this animal will be treated badly, so it's better he doesn't live at all". FTW?

Sweetie...baby doll, we can't let them do that. the poor cubby. Can't we train the little thing? We can write a KNUT Broadway play. Call it "Annie go get your camera or Open Season...the musical." Staring Annie Liebovitz and Knut, there's singing dancing...comedy...sex. Huh...well I was hoping for at least a small part. I can sing, dance (if you have a pole installed) and I play the harmonica like nobody can, or so I've told. Ha! What...oh shoot, don't tell me it's been done. Later sweetie, SZJ out

Can't imagine that with polar bears drowning as the arctic shelf melts that we would actually shoot one.

Al Gore would not approve.

Send him Down Under. He can replace the guy in the bear suit they currently use for the Bundy Rum ads.

we should embrace the bear!

[badtyler.livejournal.com]

And by doing so, embrace the bear in all of us.
Clearly, the activist has gone bonkers from years of wearing plastic shoes and ployester blend sweaters.

Yes, have him put down, immediately. I suggest we leave him on an ice floe, but do it quickly, since rumour has it that Antarctica is going to be the hot spot for Spring Break, 2008.

Polar Bear Season...Activist Season...Polar Bear Season...Activist Season--Shoot them now!!!

(Bow to the greatness that is Bugs and Daffy)

Seriously, extremists of this sort lose all perspective. This is a living creature that will have a good quality of life. Snuffing it's life is just backwards thinking.

Cocksuckers!!!

get knut PR,PR!!!!

Knut needs Edina, like right away; after all, she got Lulu on American Idol....BTW, Lulu looked Fab.

I'm really late on this debate, but nevertheless, I will kick in.

Frank Albrecht, the activist, is an opportunistic bastard who is using this poor creature to further his "animal rights" platform. I cannot think of a more despicable, hypocritical, STOOPID, selfish, narcissistic, megalomaniac thing to do. In his deluded brain, Albrecht believes that the greater "good"--- of promoting understanding among all of us plebeians who might alter an animal's natural habitat to keep the animal alive-- out weights the evil of destroying 1 creature.

All for a public relations campaign... what a waste.
