A 3-year-old boy watches as enraged Knut lunges at him repeatedly during a trip to the Berlin Zoo earlier this year. The polar bear is at the centre of a debate over animal rights.

Knut was the perfect mascot for the Green moment...

Knut remains the perfect mascot for the Green moment, mentally unstable and very dangerous.

The end of the article...

His future is causing clashes within the zoo.

"Knut needs to leave Berlin Zoo, the sooner the better," keeper Markus Roebke told a German newspaper, suggesting he be sent to a smaller animal park. "He's had so much contact with humans he doesn't realize he's a polar bear. It's not healthy."

"Not so," responded Andre Schuele, the vet in charge of him. "Knut is making very good progress, he's growing up just fine, he's a very healthy animal, and everything is really normal."

And Hollywood may call back and global warming reverse.

Well, I don't know about Hollywood, but have you seen how much ice is up in the Arctic this year?
