ok... So I don\'t know if you guys know about Knut or not... byut I figured that if you don\'t, you should.
I have been following his story for a couple of months now.... And... even though we have never met...
Knut is my best friend.
He is a polar bear that was born in the Berlin Zoo. When his mother abandoned him and his brother, his brother died, and the zookeepers decided to raise him themselves. This decision was met with outrage from some "animal rights activists." They believed that since it is unnatural for a human to raise a polar bear, he should either be allowed to die or euthanized.
The general public was horrified by these statements, and banded together, turning knut into a sort of hero for the city of Berlin. At this point he has pretty much become Germany\'s national hero.
I am happy to report that Knut is healthy and doing quite well, despite one death threat recently and a little cold which was taken care of by some routine antibiotics.
I am planning a trip to Berlin in the near future so that I can go meet my BFF.
