Well I never, Polar bears killing other animals!

I am appalled at the foul language used in that article. "Knut mania" and "fishing for carp", etc. Still knut and carp is what life is all about.

Knut "senselessly murdered the carp"

Apparently that Knut is a bad-ass even by bear standards, because he was spoiled rotten as a cub.

A while ago he would howl and roar each day for hours after the zoo closed, because he loved the attention and hated the crowds leaving. I think he's grown out of that at least.

But isn't catching and killing fish a natural thing for bears to do? That's what wild bears do with salmon.

I doubt a few carp will stop them getting bored - they can roam 40 miles in a day. They should just have opened the cages and let them have some fun.

Wan't this what the lion did in that animation "Madagascar"?

If he likes fishing for carp and is an arrogant knut, maybe he should join CUK?
