#2 Hmph. Ev'ry one knows all the fish in the Arctic come from Arthur Treacher's, with a side of hush puppies and slaw.

#3 Carp taste like mud. I'm not surprised he didn't eat them.

#7 Our first pet cat located an entire nest of baby weasels. That was a bad night, but I didn't take it out on the cat.

#9 I just can't believe Germans, of all folks, are reacting this way. Animals react on INSTINCT folks. Only humans (at least, most humans) react based upon logical thought processes.

Of course, as Phil b states, I don't blame Knut at all for *not* eating those nasty fish.

#10 I think the neocons are behind this. Just read the comments, there is a bias against carp. Damn, is nothing sacred anymore ?

#12 Could have been worse, there could have been seals in the moat.

The psycho bear meme really annoys me. The bear was raised as a human and then isolated/abandoned when he got a little too big to be cute. Can you imagine the effect on a 2 -3 year old child to have everyone he cared about suddenly abandon him? The German media is just as brain-dead as ours.

The predators can take care of themselves in any case, obviously. Even if caged. And even then, they do what they do because they are mean and have no right to live. Now if they were nicer and just ate grass they would be OK.

Grass eaters. Sound like one of my primary food groups.
