Should Knut the Polar Bear have been left to die ?

What do you think???

The animal activists said Knut the Polar Bear should have been left to die when his mother ignored him and his brother (who later died). The Zoo officials intervened and raised the Polar Bear cub themselves. This caused a big time rucus with the animal rights groups. This is probably the first time that I've ever disagreed with an animal rights group.

The animal rights activist Frank Albrecht was quoted as saying "The zoo must kill the bear."

He explained that though he thought it was wrong of the zoo to have saved the cub's life, now that the bear can live on his own, it would be equally wrong to kill him. "If a polar bear mother rejected the baby, then I believe the zoo must follow the instincts of nature," Albrecht said. "In the wild, it would have been left to die."

So... what do you think???
