we did this story the other night, and seriously, no one was listening to a WORD the reporter said. everyone around the newsdesk was just going, ohmyGOD!!! he's SO cute!!! oooooh! (and we had all seen the footage of the sweet baby, like, about 53 times). seriously, baby polar bears are just about the cutest creatures on the face of the earth.
i can't for one second understand why it would be more humane to kill this bear. i hate zoos - i refuse to go to zoos. but the fact is, he is THERE, he doesn't have a mum. sure, he would have died in the wild, but he is not in the wild, so it seems that debate is over. why not just raise him and keep him in the zoo? he is already tamed. why is it better to kill him?
