THE WORLD IS FULL OF HORROR AND DOGS WANT TO EAT YOUR BABY!!!!!!
Cute and wank: proportional? Sometimes.
I've been studiously avoiding posts on CuteOverload and such about Knut, the baby polar bear that some animal rights activists want dead, because nothing good can come of that. So I entered the word "cute" into StumbleUpon and clicked, hoping to find some uncontroversial cute.
My very first stumble is a series of photos of a mastiff and a human infant.

Seriously. Its great that it became a ‘cute series of pictures’ but it could have been easily been evidence in a manslaughter case instead.

You’re right this is unhygienic. Do you know how sick that dog could get from licking a baby?

It makes me sick that there’s a whole generation people that are too pansy to enjoy cute photos. in conclusion, I killed Nazis with my bare hands.

Baby’s are very frail creatures, puppies much less so. One playful nuzzle from the dog could easily seriously injure the baby for life. Which is great because it adds quite a bit of suspense to an otherwise trivial series of photos. Quite a thrill right up to the end.

One of the best ways of training a dog, particularly a large dog – is when they do something wrong – you hold them and place your kneck and head over theirs and hold that position for a few seconds – true! I’m a dog - I know!

Babies typically carry lots of nasty diseases and will attack anything that moves quickly or makes a noise.

Second, babies are HARDLY fragile. You could probably bounce a baby like a basketball and it would be fine (and NO I am not advocating this, simply exaggerating to make a point) because babies and kids have the cellular rejuvenation skills of a gecko tail. They can heal within minutes.

And so on and so on for 150 comments, with all the evolutionary psychology you can eat!

ETA: The same set of pictures on CO. The comments there are more serious business and there's a lot more of them to wade through, but there's still some choice niblets. My favorite is the guy who commented "While you shmucks are worried about a baby crushing/eating dog there are 13 year old females suffering genital mutilation in several countries overseas." Oh dear. In the time I took to type this post, I could have saved 3.2 girls from FGM. Why are you reading this post when you could be stamping out rape/AIDS/drugs/halitosis? Don't you care about FREEDOM?

Basically, in the Berlin zoo, the CUTEST POLAR BEAR (that ever polar beared in the history of forever) was born and then rejected by its mother.

So, being the good zoo people that they are, the zookeepers are now raising him. Of course, that means lot of human-bear contact fishheadsplz.

Cue animal rights activists demanding the Knut be put down because he'll never be appropriately socialized and polar-bear-socially retarded forever.
Cue people wanting to bash their heads in. Because, well, ZOMGcutewannacuddle.

Why can they talk about putting down socially retarded polar bears, but when I talk about killing socially retarded art students, *I'm* the vilain? The polar bear is clearly cuter and showers more.

ZOMG I want one!

Well, you see, art students... uh... serve a purpose in society?
If it helps at all, I'm not vilifying you. Or maybe I am, but you're wearing really cool and sexy robes and bloody scimitars.

I want one, too, but I'm afraid my cats would piss their pants, AKA my pillow.

Really. If we're going to talk about killing creatures for being socially retarded, a lot of the animal-rights activists at my old college had better watch themselves.

I'm pretty sure my mother's sorely tempted to go to Berlin, kidnap him and raise him as my baby brother by now.

And yup, "die in a fire" has been pretty much the sentiment of... well, anybody.

"I thought animal rights activists were supposed to protect animals and didn't want to kill them," added fellow protestor Alexander, 4. "They are really silly!"

I add this to my "Proof That Kids Have More Sense than People Like to Believe" list.

*nods* Kindermund tut Wahrheit kund.
(And yes, I'm aware that there's an English version of this saying, but I can't remember it right now -_- )

I also really love the fact that this whole "he's not being raised in a natural way" kind of does not compute with the fact that he's living in a freakin' zoo.

*my reaction* But... but... ZOO! Of course he's not going to learn to live like a "proper" polar bear but who the fuck cares? He's at a zoo, being fed by humans and looked at by humans and let's not even mention the non-Arctic temperatures -_-;;

Anyway, I knew from the start that the bear was safe. What zoo would be suicidal enough to kill something that cute :3

Does this mean that the lamb my sister-in-law is raising that was rejected by his mum will be sheep-socially-retarded? Because last year it was all fine with the lamb that was then rejected.

In conclusion, animal rights activists are stupid and need a hug from Knut.

Dude, this shit reminds me of that Wally Gator sort-of promo in Cartoon Network where he had no idea of what to do when a bunch of activists kidnapped him from the zoo he had lived his whole life and dumped him inside of a Florida marsh. :O

Did they raise a stink about Peace a few years back? I don't remember the end of the documentary, but she seemed to have turned out okay, though she was bummed when her keeper got transfered to the giraffes or whatever.

What morons! Animals have been raised by humans in zoos for years without problems.

This isn't even the first polar bear that has to have been hand raised. Years ago Sea World in Orlando took in a pair of cubs that had been abandoned elsewhere and hand raised them; that was why they started the entire Arctic section at the park.

Nooot really. X/ they just compared Knut's case with that of another bear cub. That one also was rejected by its mom and WAS put down with the reason that hand feeding isn't species appropriate. So the activists actually protest against the zoos using hypocritical arguments and nobody wants Knut dead. One of them merely said that after the logic of the other zoo, Knut should be dead.

Which was then gleefully ripped out of context and smashed on the headline of one of Germany's biggest tabloid where it happily spread around.
