The Adventures of Knut

[monk222]

♠
I had not heard of Knut before. There is a post about him at LJ's celebrity community, and someone was kind enough to post a YouTube about Germany's celebrity polar bear, so meet Knut:

He is in the news now because Knut has received an anonymous threat on his life: "Knut is dead! Thursday midday." But the deadline passed and all is cool.

I don't know. I guess the story is a keeper - cute, strange, and macabre at the same time. Maybe it is someone's idea of a dark joke, but you cannot know these days, can you?

Oh God. Not Knut again.

I can't tell you how much I've had it with seeing that @#$%^*& bear. It's everywhere and it's going to haunt me in my dreams!

LOL You didn't send the threat, did you?

Sorry, maybe it's a European thing, or I'm just out of the loop. This is the first I've seen or heard of him, so I'm just getting in on the cute. :p

LOL - you know that's exactly what my owner said you were going to say. :)

Knut has been in the news ever since he was born because he's being brought up by humans which in the eyes of the Nature Protection over there is unnatural. According to them he should have been euthanized after birth when it became clear that he couldn't be brought up by his mother.

I'm just wondering what is so natural about an animal living in a zoo anyway but I guess that's just me.

What a cute face how could anyone harm a sweet and innocent bear and think that it is ok well I'm sorry. I hate people like that but the funny thing is we are all guilty of killing the animals and the mammals caused by this. Global warming and everybody needs to come together so we can put an end to this.This is our home too and we need to treat like we love and care for our home here on earth.

I would hope that people take better care of the world than I do my room, heh. ;)

I really love the angel icon - very lovely.
