For an event like that, I can easily believe that Ronnie Barker would come back from the dead to host.

THE KNUT DISPUTE
Zoos Face Off in Polar Bear Brouhaha

He may already have come back. Some say they spotted him in the audience at Wimbledon this year.

Thanks.
Stupid woman. No sympathy here. Wonder if she is related to Timothy Treadwell.
The caged Bear was killed for acting like a Bear.
