Knut the polar bear eats fish; all of Germany shocked!
Germany's celebrity polar bear Knut has triggered a new controversy by fishing out 10 live carp from his moat and killing them in front of visitors.Critics say Berlin Zoo should not have put live fish inside Knut's enclosure. "You know, predators, prey . . . bad combination." "But we raised him as a vegan!" German media report that the carp were put there to eat up algae. . . . And is anyone getting upset at the millions of little defenseless single-celled organisms the carp were slaughtering? And why not? The Frankfurter Allgemeine news website reports that Knut "senselessly murdered the carp", fishing them out, playing with them and then leaving the remains. No, it was perfectly sensible. Knut looked at the fish, and his little bear brain said, "Groceries!" Posted by: Mike 2008-04-10 |
