Knut out

[Sickbag]

Knut, the world-famous polar bear, has died.
The bear rose to stardom when he was hand-raised by zoo keepers after being rejected by his mother at birth. He collapsed in front of 600 visitors to Berlin Zoo this afternoon.
Bear keeper Heiner Kloes from the zoo said the four-year-old was alone in his compound. He says the cause is not yet clear.
'He was by himself in his compound, he was in the water, and then he was dead,' said Mr Kloes. ' He was not sick, we don't know why he died.'

Who killed Knut?

Although the cause of death has not yet been determined, serious concerns over his treatment at Berlin Zoo have already been raised.
'I kan't komprehend what happened there. He was happy before, there were no signs of anything - it's so shocking,' said fan Eveline Litowski, who said she had come to the zoo to find out more about Knut's early death.
Litowski was among a crowd of fan's at Knut's empty compound this morning who laid down white roses, lit candles or put up pictures of Knut with personal messages for the bear - and speculated on the cause of his death.
Some fans already had their own theories. Nadine Hipauf said she worried somebody may have poisoned Knut - whether on purpose or not.
'My biggest fear is that somebody may have thrown something in for him to eat,' she added.
Others claimed that Knut had died of stress, saying he was bullied by the three female bears he shared the enclosure with - Tosca, Nancy and Katjuscha.

However, it seemed Knut in turn had become depressed — seemingly distracted and looking lost if there were no crowds around. At this point, animal psychologists warned he was in danger of becoming a ‘psycho bear’.

Knut’s premature death plunged Berlin into gloom. ‘His death is awful,’ said the city’s mayor, Klaus Wowereit. ‘He was the star of Berlin Zoo.’
‘I’ve been crying nonstop since I heard about his death,’ said Ingrid Rommel, a 65-year-old widow from Berlin, who said she had been visiting Knut weekly since his birth on December 6, 2006. She credited him with helping her get over the death of her husband.
Heidemarie Vogel, 58, remembered that Knut had sometimes raised his paw when she called over to him.
‘It was as if he was waving to me — so nice,’ she said tearfully.

Not the first time a caged polar bear has been killed out of mercy. I quite seee the point.

Knut, the Berlin polar bear who rose to fame after his mother abandoned him to be hand-reared by zookeepers, may be stuffed and exhibited in the city’s Natural History Museum after his premature death, the museum said.
“It is true that our taxidermists are working on his corpse and have removed his fur,” Gesine Steiner, a spokeswoman for the Natural History Museum, said in a telephone interview today.

Several outraged Knut fans expressed horror at plans to stuff the bear in entries in the zoo’s online condolence book, which featured 5,500 posts as of today.
“To stuff Knut is to abuse the feelings of millions of Knut fans all over the world,” posted Horst Krause. “Knut deserves a worthy burial.”

knut to stuff or not to stuff? That is the question.
