Zoo polar bear cubs left to nature's fate

Is this liberal hypocrisy the "New" morality? Sorry folks but if you take or keep ANYTHING in captivity you have a moral obligation to that creatures well being. I normally don't put much stock in animal welfare organizations but look forward to their intervention in this matter.

Helmut Maegdefrau, I think the world would be better served if you found another line of work....

This whole issue is just ridiculous. Their argument is absurd, polar bears do not belong in Germany, much less in an enclosed, artificial, non natural environment. The polar bears were placed there by humans in the first place, evidently, it is their moral duty to foster and care for these animals in the best way possible. This is pure abandonment and in my view it is a crime.

They did this in hopes to avoid the furor caused by the Knut incident at the Berlin Zoo. However, I fear that the way they chose to deal with this has actually created a much serious quagmire for themselves which, sadly, may result in the unfair death of some of the most endangered animals on earth. This Zoo is clearly being run by a group imbeciles, there needs to be some accountability and I hope that justice is served.
