If you don't want to read the whole article, here are the highlights. Or lowlights, depending how you look at it. Note that they are referring to a polar bear cub known as "Knut" who was born at a Berlin Zoo and has been raised by handlers since his mother rejected him.

BERLIN -
"Feeding by hand is not species-appropriate but a gross violation of animal protection laws," animal rights activist Frank Albrecht was quoted as saying by the mass-circulation Bild daily, which has featured regular photo spreads tracking fuzzy Knut's frolicking.

"The zoo must kill the bear."

"The killing of an animal has nothing to do with animal protection," said Wolfgang Apel, head of the German Federation for the Protection of Animals.

Yes, Wolfgang. And we're desperately sorry that Mr. Albrecht forced you into making such a "Captain Obvious" comment. We will direct all of our mocking solely at him.
