To be(ar) or not to be(ar)...

[Barrel of Fun]

Animal Rights activists want a hand reared Polar Bear to be put down, stating that they should not be hand reared. Berlin Zoo are refusing to budge.

Who is in the right?

Yes to living or dying, BoF?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Yes - He should be destroyed.

No - He should not be destroyed.


He is only little and has already done something that Henderson could not do.



Nice on Seven Stands.

Ahhhhh........

He lives.

These animal activists go too far sometimes. What right do they have to voice their disapproval and demand that little Knut be destroyed!?

I understand their sentiment (slightly) but this isolated case should not mean that wild animals should be freely accepted as 'dometicated' animals.

No, destroying an animal for that reason would be completely wrong.

The focus should be on stopping the capture of wild animals, and preservation of their environment.

Domesticating a bear that would otherwise have died, is great.

No, destroying an animal for that reason would be completely wrong.

but allowing it to grow into adulthood living in a cage pacing up and down against a glass viewing pane waving its head around like some spacked-out zombie is ok?


either kill it, or release it.

How trivial that man makes life out to be....The bear is ALIVE - he wants to make it DEAD as it will be reared by humans...what an abolsute double standards COCK he is....keeping in mind the animals who gave birth to it live in a ZOO and were rescued from a CIRCUS!!

Wankers - maybe there should be a public debate as to whether he should be put down....see how he likes it....
