Beloved German polar bear Knut dies suddenly on Video

Well ALF Germany Pledge to kill the bear for years as did some off shoot groups from PeTa there and fear other have been found after hour trying to get to the bear fro the last 3 years say the bear should die than be in zoo. If the Bear is found to have been poison or infected on purpose by some one this will now should the true face of Animal right Extremest that want death of animals more than to save them. Zoo's Keep alive many animal that are endanger Yes some zoo's need major updates but they should be closed or protested for trying to do what they can to save animal.
This bear would have died in eh wild it was saved because people cared to do so but many in the extremes did the worse to try to kill or hard the bear of those who were taking are of him. over 1000 death treats to Zoo personal and attacks on many that just worked at the Zoo and had nothing to do with the care of the bear. If the Bear died of something natural it needs to be looked into but then again if the bear was ill it would shown as he was given physicals often.
This bear did not suffer a day the Zoo was taking great care of him So I do not think it was due to any lack of care in anyway.

What do you guys think about zoos and aquariums? Are the animals suffering?

I am not referring to animal sanctuaries, but facilities for our own pleasure.

This is so sad. You could tell Knut was in a lot of distress before he collapsed into the water. Painful to watch. I read about this yesterday. I loved seeing the pics of Knut "growing up." My heart goes out to the German people.

My condolences to the German people. However, I am still mourning the loss of Tatiyana, the San Francisco Zoo's female Siberian tiger. She was killed by police after escaping her compound because three young, drunk assholitic juveniles (one of whom was mauled to death) thougnt it would be fun to throw things at her. She responded naturally, but she died unnaturally. There are only 3 to 5 thousand Siberian tigers left on this planet, with only a little over 1500 living in the wild. Most of them live in zoos.

tragic...i'm trying to look at the bright side...no longer will this majestic bear be caged for the amusement of homosapiens...RIP Knut ^_^

So sad!

reminds of the dog that drank radiator coolant, the dog is still alive though.

Oh my God. That is so heartbreaking. The poor little guy should
never have been allowed to be alone, for his own health & safety.
If his own mother rejected him it was likely because he had the
smell of humans on him. Mammals' milk contains elements of
medicinal value in it too. He would have been a lot better off
in the wild than being so young, so alone, and so captive.
He would have been better off being cared for by a family
of loving humans until he was an adult, then to mate with
a female. Love be with you brother Knut, now and always forever.
I'll always remember you in my prayers as if you were a member
of my German Shepherd family of canines I helped raise.
I wish animalia libero were still with us here on Current.com,
so that we could hear what he'd have to say. So very very sad.
I'm glad you're at Peace now, and hopefuly with your mom's soul
again soon, friend.

looks like something neurological, maybe a stroke?
