See more news about Knut in my comments there...

uuuuhh there´s Knut again...

German TV networks don´t stop the coverage about Knut... Maybe because last year there was a bear (not in a zoo but immigrated into the "wilderness" of the bavarian state from italy most probably) that got shot because of him "being a threat". This started a huge uproar and the rangers who shot him even received murder threats. The bear was called "Bruno the problem bear" by bavarian MP Stoiber, heavily decreasing his popularity.

Germans obiously are very kind to animals, there´s a little activist in all of us over here ;-)

Where a few years ago talk shows were the hype on German TV, especially in the afternoon, they now show documentarys of the biggest German Zoos. Every network needs one of those nowadays.

But hey, Knut is too cute to resist...

He's called "Cute Knut" and "Awwwwww" is the only response he gets. Quite a hype here in germany.
