Animal Rights Kooks: Cuddly Polar Bear Cub Must Die!
Posted by Dave Blount at March 20, 2007 8:11 AM
Moonbats will tell you that it is better to cause mass starvation by pulling the emergency brakes on the world economy than to risk raising the temperature by a fraction of a degree in the sacred polar bear's arctic habitat. But then, they will also tell you that a cuddly polar bear cub at the Berlin Zoo must die.
Screams animal rights activist Frank Albrecht:
Feeding by hand is not species-appropriate but a gross violation of animal protection laws. The zoo must kill the bear.
But the cub's mother ignored it, so zookeepers had no choice but to raise "Cute Knut" themselves. Yet Albrecht holds firm:
If a polar bear mother rejected the baby, then I believe the zoo must follow the instincts of nature. In the wild, it would have been left to die.
"Four Paws" — a German animal rights organization — agrees, arguing that it would not be right to punish the cub by letting it live.
They might have a point. In nature, organisms that don't see to their own needs are left to their fate, as there is no state to hand them other people's money. In the past this helped keep the world free of moonbats.
