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.

I whole heartedly agree - someone should shoot the activist

I thought one of the responders to the Guardian's blog said it very well: "To claim a deep love for living beings, and to simultaneously use this platform to argue for the killing of any creature which does not conform to one's notions of ideological purity, is to abdicate any possibility of being taken seriously."

Only for a British news site would you find something as articulate and intelligent as that in the comments section. Had it been on, say, Fox news' site, I suspect it would have read something more like this:

"if u luv bares & use that as excuze 2 say kill da bares cuz they dont be pure to whut bares shood b, then no1 will take u seriously."

That said, save Knut! Nothing that adorable deserves to die.
