#1 "Died of stress ...bullied by the three Female Bears" > Whoa, ANTI-MALE RIGHTEOUS FEMMEZ LESBO INDIGNATION; or twas it TOO MUCH? NOT ENOUGH? POLAR BEAR SEX???

OTOH, Mama Bear may had abandoned Knut as a cub becuz she knew something was physically wrong wid him, + that Knut would not survive into adulthood even iff he had enough to eat or other. SCIENCE IS STILL TRYING TO FULLY UNDERSTAND WHY ANIMALS ABANDON THEIR YOUNG.

#2 There are many polar bear cubs that are killed and eaten by the males. It is a brutal life. The sow bear has to be constantly on the watch against males while she rears her young.

#4 I will remember Knut fondly, because he about fractured Germany's large animal-rights faction. When he was born, his mother abandoned him, and some of the kookier PETA kooks demanded that he be killed, because for humans to raise him would be "unnatural".

Except for a small group of kitten stompers in Hamburg, this did not go over well with the public, who would have much preferred that members of PETA be stomped, and publicly.

Zoo keeper Thomas Dörflein, who was tasked with raising Knut, overnight became a celebrity. He had to provide 24-hour care, even sleeping next to Knut, and received a huge volume of fan mail to them both.

Their parting, at about seven months, because of Knut's size, was greeted with great sadness by the public, made more so when he died of a heart attack not too long after.

PETA, never missing an opportunity to piss people off, then demanded that Knut be castrated, supposedly to prevent inbreeding, or at least that he be kept away from the public, as he was becoming fond of having an appreciative audience.

At that point, the typical German would have enjoyed pay-per-view of PETA activists being thrown into the cage with Knut.
