Berlin's polar bear cub Knut receives death threat

Assholes.

Germany's celebrity polar bear cub Knut has received an anonymous death threat, causing alarm at Berlin Zoo on Thursday and prompting heightened security.

Anyone stupid enough to threaten the life of a baby animal should be beaten in the head with a hammer.

Top-selling Bild newspaper said the zoo had received a hand-written fax from a suspected animal hater with the words: "Knut is dead! Thursday midday."

I say if they find this prick, they should give him his shot at killing a polar bear. Throw him in with Knut's mother.

But that deadline came and went safely for media star Knut, who has been on newspaper front pages around Germany and the world for weeks. "He is safe and in good spirits," said zoo official Ragnar Kuehne after the time had passed.

Amazing how truly innocent every other species is on this planet. Knut has no idea how very, very dangerous those animals are that are on the other side of his fence.
