Which animal is worldwide more famous than you? Knut, the ice bear.

http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/files/2008/12/knut.jpg

But now, he has to leave. The zoo can’t afford a larger cage and the cost of a female. We all know what females do cost. In times of crisis: drop your females!

The good news is that another home will be searched and that other zoo around Europe welcome the little white fellow.

I will buy him I want a new fur coat.

Knut, wa kawaii desu yo!!!

And, what language is that?

i think it is Japanese but it is hard to tell when it is written in Latin letters.

I believe the term you are looking for is "Otakuese".

Also, at first, when I saw the article name, I thought "Harry Potter", thinking that it was a joke.

No, it is Japanese, written in Romaji, not Otakuese. That, darling, doesn't exist.

Knut, wa kawaii desu yo!= Knut, it's so cute!

Waiiiit. You know real Japanese?!

If so, you= win.

well no more Japanese or Spanish on the Forum.
All post need to be in English Or Korean or Chinese.

Cashier number 5! Cashier number 5! Urgent!

We have some Japanese people that lost their route.

Yes Nir, I know Japanese. I'm doing my MA on it, slowly, but surely.

I read this a Kunt... yep...

Masters Degree.

That frigging ice bear has been getting on my nerves ever since it first appeared.

Drown the sucker and gimme the fur.

Oh, and ice bear steak for those Inuit from the other thread!

Isn't Knut the one that became psychotic? I heard the zoo (unofficially) doesn't want to take the risk what he would do to a female, but since the homicidal bear is world-wide celebrity, they can't really put him down either.

Thanks. Here it's ''Maisterin Tutkinto''.

HEY I called the fur first!!!

Kiitos tarjoaa Suomen sana.

You wanted to buy the bear.

I wasn't even willing to pay for it. However, I'd be willing to trade in the meat.

Plus, I bet I'd be in Berlin way faster than you. :p

Please stop mangling Finnish and stick to the official forum language...

As for making steaks out of Knut, better consult the Inuit on how best to cook them. I understand the liver is considered good eating, but you might want to check with medical sources, since some animals' livers can be poisonous to humans... :(

Knut is asking for your addresses for a special delivery.

I don't need any polar bear poop.

Since 1 Galleon is 493 Knuts and 1 Galleon is about 7.50 €, this places the value of Knut at about 0.02 €. Cheap, I'd say. Give me a couple of dozens, and keep the change.

Well, I've tried shark and even whale when I was little, so why not polar bear? It'd save them from extinction, too, if they were being farmed for meat and fur. Isn't that what people worry about? :tongue:

In times of economic fail, godless killing machines can be quite a burden.

Apparently, he is a narcissist who identifies more with humans than his fellow bears. So, he's like the anti-Mowgli. Only with bears in place of Indian villagers. And I guess that makes Thomas Dörflein a combination of Baloo and Raksha, and Peter Arras is Shere Khan.
The obvious solution to this problem is to send Knut out into the wild, where he will be rejected by polar bears for his human ways. Eventually he will return to Germany, kill Peter Arras and don a suit made of his skin, then escape into the wilds of Norway.

Bah.

Me and German nightmare plan to eat them in front of PETA headquarters.

Well, people do worry about them for the extinction thing, but eat them? I don't know.

Bear, the other white meat?

It has an odd ring to it.

haven't had polar bear but other bears thus far i have tried are really good.

Sounds like a good movie... XDXD

*shrugs*
I never have had bear.

you don't know what your missing. when you come to the US look me up and i will hook you up with some of the best bear meat the national park system has to offer.

Wait... aren't bears protected in the US? Aren't you supposed not to hunt them or something?:eek2:

the amazing thing with bear is you can always convince people it was attacking you and you had to shoot it. So plenty of meat to be had.

PETA will get you.:eek2:

While wearing our new fur coats!!!

PETA will get you.:eek2:

You know who kill the most dogs and cats in the USA? That's right, PETA does. Oh, they "save" the animals, and then when reporters and cameras have gone away, they put to sleep around 80-90% of them.

PETA will get you.:eek2:

even peta cant revoke my right to self defense. and i don't want to let the bear go to waste now do I? that being said don't come in winter kinda hard to justify shooting a hibernating bear. the meat taste best in spring/summer when they eat more nuts and berries. fall they get a tad too fatty for my taste.

Wait... aren't bears protected in the US? Aren't you supposed not to hunt them or something?:eek2:

Not Black Bears, and certain types of Brown Bears.

I see. I was under the impression bears, all types, were protected in the US.

I would like the bear, I could do with a pet.

I wouldn't eat Knut liver. Bear liver is supposed to have toxic levels of vitamin A (yes, too much of any vitamin can be deadly).

Besides, he's too cute to have for dinner.

Are you sure you want to tell someone else how to post?

You do realize you're advocating an illegal activity, yes? Better check the TOS.

And Nanatsu, bear hunting is not banned in the US. You can hunt black bear and brown bear in many states.

Not anymore -- less fuzzy cub, and more adult wild animal.

lol. the best prepared bear meat is served in the national parks. As in the restaurants. I assume the park services gets their meat from outside the parks with maybe an excepting being made for animals they have to put down.

Amelia needs a fur coat, and I could use fur slippers.

Don't be coy. In two threads now, you have suggested that people (and you) go provoke animals, especially protected ones, in order to shoot them in so-called self defense. It's not self defense when you go in intending to shoot something, and wonder of wonders, shoot it.

Amelia HAS a fur coat. ;)

its not like bears require much provoking. I have just as much right to go see them up close as anyone else.

now if it were something like deer id say it is likely he intentionally provoked the animal. only time Ive ever seen a deer really go at a person was when he had dumped a bunch of female deer pheromones on himself.

It's so nice to see you trying to wiggle out of what you've posted before. And deer can and do attack people for very little reason, though rarely -- are you sure you know what you're talking about?

http://www.ftthomas.org/Deer.html

Heck, I know a person in suburban NJ who had a buck crash through his sliding door and run around the house in a panic attacking everything, until it got shut in the bathroom. Animal control had to come tranquilize and put the animal down.

thus far the deer i've seen scurry off when i come by.
for what ever reason bears seem less likely to do that.
you get with in 20 feet of a bear he is likely going to take aggressive action.
A deer is likely to leave unless you corner it. (or the aforementioned pheromone case)
but rest assured if they did attack i normally have a rifle or a pistol on hand and i will be glad to put their head up as a trophy.

Ok. I was just under that impression since I read that the bear's habitat has been cut down and divided by men in the US. But maybe that's because i't was about the grizzly.

Here in Spain is forbidden to hunt the "oso cantábrico" since it was endangered not too long ago. Of course, this bear is basically only found in the Picos de Europa region.

My ex mother-in-law had a horrible car crash 3 winters ago while driving through a rural road in Ovid-Elsie, MI. She hit a deer square on. She totaled her car and had a nasty head injury that almost parlyzed her and she had to undergo theraopy for half a year.

we are a bit less the bear's habitat in the US. something about smaller population density. Google bear hunting and you will see plenty of tour packages. there is even one in Alaska where they guarantee you will get a bear. Though the bear might be from Russia and drunk.

Oh, I already Googled bear hunting. But for some reason, it seems wrong to me to hunt bears.

Wasn't your king shooting bears in Russia, Or at least one drunk one ?

Follow the example of your King.

Nope. At least he protects the bears in Spain. If he hunts bears in Russia, he's just saying "fuck the rest of Europe". :p
