Default Animal rights people

WTF

ANIMAL-RIGHTS activists have called for a zoo’s baby Polar bear to be KILLED — because it relies on humans.
Knut became a superstar after he was rejected by his mother at birth last December.
His twin brother died after just four days.
The hand-reared polar bear touched the hearts of the nation and became the symbol of Berlin Zoo.
He was even photographed by star snapper Annie Leibowitz for an international campaign.
But extremists in Germany claim Knut’s cuteness is against his own “animal rights” and he should be put to sleep.
Activist Frank Albrecht said last night: “The hand-rearing of Knut is a breach of the animal protection code.
“He’ll rely on humans forever and this cannot be right.”
Zoo director Wolfram Ludwig added: “He will not be a proper Polar bear. But it is too late to kill him now.”
Thousands of tourists flock to see Knut fed by a baby’s bottle every day. He was voted the city’s top citizen in a TV poll.
Wolfgang Apel, of the German Animal Protection Society, said: “We must be careful with Knut but killing him is not the answer.“

I read about this thismorning! I couldnt believe it! I want to see an animal activist waving a sign around that says "Kill the bear"...... haha

It just goes to show you that animal activists(except a few) are people that REALLY have nothing better to do!

I don't know what's considered activism but personally I feel protecting animals from mistreatment and extinction are worthy causes. It's the extremists groups like PETA that ruin it.

Shoot me if ya want hehe.
