Anyone who reckons a polar bear isn't cute doesn't know what they're talking about.
So when someone kills a polar bear a little part of the world's magic dies.
Knut the famous polar bear died mysteriously in his enclosure at Berlin Zoo yesterday. At about the same time as NATO forces began bombing Libya.
Gaddafi warned again and again that if his country was attacked he would strike back, but we didn't listen. We all thought it was the bluster of an old man whose regime was about to topple. Little did we know that within hours our dear, beloved Knut would be dead, his life snuffed out in the name of politics, oil and greed.
Muammar Gaddafi, why did Knut have to die? Wasn't it enough for you to bomb your own people into oblivion? Wasn't watching their misery enough to get you off?
Why did the bear have to die too?
Muammar Gaddafi hit the wrong target. Germany didn't (or hasn't yet) join the war against Libya.
ReplyDeleteAnon, you need to see the bigger picture. Knut's mother, Tosca, was Canadian-born. She would have fully supported her government's actions in joining the offensive against Gaddafi. Being a polar bear, she would be hostile to any desert regime.
ReplyDeleteThe cruel irony is that Tosca rejected Knut at birth. It's almost certain that Knut would have grown up to be resentful of his mother for such abandonment. It's likely then that, had be not been so cruelly cut down, Knut would have denounced the hawkish views on security and defence held by his mother, and he may have become a strong supporter of Gaddafi.
That's why Gaddafi must be stopped. How many more polar bears must die?
This knut was a tough one to crack especially as the Gaddafi Special Forces had to disguise themselves as delectible fish and infiltrate the bear pool. It was the old one known as Gaddi that stuck in the bear craw and as a suicide boner he choked the symbol of German superiority.
