Animal Celebrity

Germany’s celebrity polar bear Knut has triggered a new controversy by fishing out 10 live carp from his moat and killing them in front of visitors.Critics say Berlin Zoo should not have put live fish inside Knut’s enclosure. But German media report that the carp were put there to eat up algae.
There is speculation that hand-reared Knut killed the carp just for fun.
This, from the BBC News website, under the headline “Shock at polar bear’s carp kill“. I was as guilty as anyone of getting caught up in the Knut mania last year, but things have become a little silly when the BBC is breathlessly reporting on a polar bear in a German zoo killing a few fish, even if he did do it purely for the lulz.
