Shock at polar bear's carp kill
Germany's celebrity polar bear Knut has triggered a new controversy by fishing out 10 live carp from his moat and killing them in front of visitors.
Critics say Berlin Zoo should not have put live fish inside Knut's enclosure. But German media report that the carp were put there to eat up algae.
There is speculation that hand-reared Knut killed the carp just for fun.
A new polar bear cub - Flocke - made her public debut at Nuremberg Zoo on Tuesday, shown live on television.
The zoo is expecting up to 25,000 visitors daily, eager to see Flocke (German for "snowflake"). She has also been hand-reared, because the zoo feared her mother might harm her.
But the zoo has said it wants to avoid any repetition of "Knut mania". Knut was rejected by his mother, but Berlin Zoo decided to hand-rear him, in a controversial move.
There has been heated debate about whether cubs rejected by their mothers should be saved or whether nature should be allowed to run its course.
Knut is now more than a year old and has grown overweight.
The Frankfurter Allgemeine news website reports that Knut "senselessly murdered the carp", fishing them out, playing with them and then leaving the remains.
*snort* Typical white bear, killing fish of color.
Seriously though, have these people lost their marbles? It's still a fricken' BEAR. And how does one 'murder' a carp?
Its because Bears ARE Godless Killing Machines.
OMG - AN ANIMAL IS NATURE IS DOING WHAT IT IS KNOWN FOR?!
WHAT'S NEXT - LEAVES DYING ON TREES IN THE WINTER?!?! WHAT WILL MAN DO ABOUT SUCH A HORRIBLE PLIGHT!?!?!

Qotw please.
Allow me to take this moment and point out that COLBERT WAS RIGHT
COLBERT IS NEVER RIGHT DAMN IT.
I WILL NEVER ADMIT TO IT.
Guys, this is Knut we are talking about.
Just saying a "polar bear"is weak. Its the most famous polar bear in our day and age.
Incidently, the carp were totally asking for it.
A bear can only take so many "your mama was SO white" jokes before disemboweling someone.

Qotw please.
then i suggest you put it there yourself instead of just making two-word replies in this thread
i think it's kind of weird that the bear just killed the fish without eating any of it. i find it weirder that the witnesses pussied out just because they saw some random fish being killed. just because he looks all cute and cuddly doesn't mean you can get angry at him for gutting some #%**!%@ carp! are we sure this isn't a joke?
*throws crap carp at deckman*

I just wonder if this is proof of Germans having a sense of humour?
