So to kill or not to kill is the question.
Animal rights activists are lobbying for an abandoned polar bear cub born at Berlin Zoo to be put down. They say domesticating the bear is cruel and unnatural. The bundle of fur called **** became something of a superstar at the zoo when he was ignored by his mother. He has been bottle fed and comforted by zoo staff ever since and has even been snapped by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz for an environmental protection campaign.
Animal rights activists say domesticating the bear will prevent him forming relationships with other bears in the future. Ruediger Schmeidel from the Foundation for Bears is adamant "they cannot domesticate a wild animal", as he continues to clash with the zoo over ****'s welfare.
But Andre Schuele, chief vet at Berlin Zoo said: "Polar bears live alone in the wild. I see no logical reason why this bear should be killed." He added: "Polar bears are under threat of extinction, and if we feed the bear with a bottle it has a good chance of growing up and perhaps becoming attractive as a stud for other zoos."
