Animal rights activists in Germany demand the death of baby polar bear Knut, because they consider its raising by the zoo-keepers unnatural. " Indeed, it is unnatural for this animal to live without its mother", says a German Greenpeace spokesman," And we support the idea that it should be put down. In fact, as mr. Albrecht should have explained, polar bears as a species are facing extinction. As such, it is only natural that all polar bears should all be exterminated to speed up what is a natural proces." Greenpeace further proposes that after the polar bear has been wiped out, they could focus on the giant panda, the blue whale and the Siberian tiger. Their natural habitats have changed and it is unnatural for such animals to live in close proximity to humans. According to the environmental organisation it is only humane to speed up their extinction. Animal rights groups all over the country support Greenpeace's proposed solution and provide hunting rifles as a welcome gift for new members. |
Oh Fledermaus

My worm story, is in fact, fact. |

Written by Bottleblondesurfer (3446 comments posted) 21st March 2007 | Yes. well that is the problem with this forum. We try to come up with crazy spoofs and sends up of the news and the news ends up being crazier than anything we could invent in our most psychotic moments. What a stunning perversion of logical thought you have highlighted here. Of course it means all pets should be killed off as well if you take it to it's logical conclusion. Fundamentalism of any sort always seems to result in killing for the "best" of reasons.
Clever stuff

That's a clever thing indeed about the pets. I guess that would have made even better not-news. |

On a related theme, have you ever noticed how people who are good vegetarians still keep carnivorous pets? I know several radical vegetarians who have big, meat-gobbling dogs. It is odd, when you come to think of it. How do they rationalize this? |

Protect me from the convinced believer, let the pragmatists rule.
Animal lovers: For one moment change places with your supposed best friend. What would you think if their first act was to have you neutered?
Then if you're furry have you shaved and then put in an ill-fitting coat?
Finally if you're feline feed you on carrion when your instinct is for fresh killed flesh.
I'll stop there.

Witzl: That's a strange thing indeed. In fact one of such dog-loving vegetarians was a certain Adolf, who seemed to care more for animals than for humans...
Phil: well, luckily most Germans seemed to disagree with this man's opinion too and Knut, in spite of bad eyesight, is happily alive and the hero of Berlin's zoo, so I've read. Yet it is a bit scary that such a strange opinion about killing something because it wasn't perfect arose in Germany... Above mentioned dog-lover did seemed to share more than a few ideas with this mr. Albrecht.
Brian: Or what to think of vegetarians wearing leather shoes? I know people who firmly oppose to hunting, but meanwhile eat industrially farmed pork...
