Just think of it as a really, really late term abortion.
That should make it acceptable to enlightened liberals everywhere.

Hehe.
There was a case around these parts a while ago. A guy expired in his truck – not sure why. His dog was stuck in the truck with, ah … him. After a couple of days, someone called animal control cause they heard the dog barking and were worried about the dog. Animal control got up close and, well, immediately called the fire department and police. WIth all expecting a vicious attack animal, one of the EMTs opened the door and out popped the dog, all happy, affectionate, and in excellent shape, despite being confined for about three days. The dog was put down, reluctantly – for having done what any dog would do under the circumstances – because who was going to adopt a canine which had consumed its former owner, no matter how friendly the dog was?

Supposedly the big difference between dogs and cats: it takes a dog a couple, three days to resort to this. A cat? A cat will go for you the minute you stop fogging the mirror. Which is one of many reasons I am a dog person. I mean, have you seen Lady and the Tramp.

Club it!

I don’t think it would like the loud music and probably can’t dance.

I am guessing no one asked the little polar bear cub if it particularly minded being human raised in captivity.

Jerks.  What hypocrites.  To protect it, it must die?  This is how we protect animals?

The abandoned cub who fa…

The zookeepers are domesticating him

Then why doesn’t he just stay in a zoo somewhere? For Gods sake, all zoo animals are domesticated to a large degree.

Pitiful.

“Get out here! I’m getting killed!”

‘We want this baby polar bear dead’ say animal rights lobby

I really detest animal rights groups. They serve no purpose or function but to waste the time and resources of everyone they inflict their self-righteous stupidity on.

At three months old, however, the playful 19lb bundle of fur is at the centre of an impassioned debate over whether he should live or die.

See what I mean? Why is there a debate? What purpose does it serve? Oh, perhaps this…

Animal rights activists argue that he should be given a lethal injection rather than brought up suffering the humiliation of being treated as a domestic pet.

And they know the polar bear feels humiliated, how? I think animal rights activists should be given a lethal injection rather than allowing them to continue the sad portrayal of rational, thoughtful people. I also think my position makes me extremely humane! Why isn’t everyone more like me?

(I really don’t mean “off with his head”, but this just gives me a chance to link to a video I’m surprised AP hasn’t found funny enough to post. To each their own, but I find it hilarious)

Oh, and by the way, if you are reading this comment you are also on the polar bear’s menu.

The cub is so cute if you can genetically engineer it not to grow 9 feet tall, 1/2 ton or better, have 9″ razor sharp claws, and teeth that will rip a human’s head off before he could say “Uh Oh, help me Mr. Bill!”.

These picture of such a cute infant seem naive to me, to those who see a cute teddy bear and not a voracious predator that will consume anything and everything in their path – including you.

Want a cute, cuddle, warm, fuzzy, purring, lovable creature? Get a Tribble. They are safer.

Why do they get me started? BERLIN, Germany (AP) — Berlin Zoo’s abandoned polar bear cub Knut looks cute, cuddly and has become a front-page media darling, but an animal rights activist insisted Monday he would have been better off……

gotta love America we got it all

Polar Bears . . . . Germans . . . . And no one makes a joke?

It’s it German Tourists that are always getting eaten by things?

- The Cat

Look at the cute polar bear. Of course, if this little guy met you in the wild, he’d claw your face off. But still…look at the little guy…….

I saw a video on CBS of this adorable little guy and read some articles earlier today. Yes, I blogged about this as well.

This video really needs a cuteness warning label.

Maybe the animal activist should be put out of their misery.
