Leftist Whackos Want this Polar Bear Cub DEAD!

Believe it or not, but animal rights whackos want this cute polar bear cub DEAD!

Poor little Knut (pronounced "newt") was rejected by his mother who left him to die along with his twin brother.

Knut was rescued and has been hand-reared by Berlin Zoo keeper Thomas Doerflein, who sleeps by his side, bottle-feeds him and even plays Elvis Presley songs to him on a guitar.

Animal rights activist Frank Albrecht told Germany's Bild newspaper: "Hand-rearing a polar bear is not appropriate and is a serious violation of animal rights.
"In fact, the cub should have been killed," he said.

And the same loony tune lefties who would go ballistic if a sparrow were killed to build a freeway are still demanding the death of Knut... for his own good. No doubt to save him from global warming.

As instructive as this story is about the nature of crazy leftists, it's not without opportunities for humor.

On a U.K. web site, one commenter said: "Well what about the right to life of the poor seals which the average polar bear attacks in a lifetime? Nobody thinks of them, or the fish. Its time these polar bear tyrannts made recompense for their unprovoked and aggressive actions. Killing one of their own is the only way they'll learn."

Too bad we can't euthanize animal rights whackos!
