Knut



The day that Knut made his first public appearence there were many people waiting to see him.
He is now the most famous polar bear in the world because of his life story, a story that has touched people’s heart in Germany and all over the world.
When he was born, Knut was rejected by his mother and then he was put in an incubator. After that, he survived just because of the attention he received from Thomas Dörflein, his carer.
But the exact moment that Knut became a world famous bear was when animal rights activists started a debate, because they said that killing Knut at birth would have been better for him than have been raised by humans.
Many people disagree with that point of view. Even more, schoolgirls started a campaign to avoid Knut’s euthanasia.
Finally, the zoo said it had no intention to kill Knut.
Now Knut is famous worldwide and he es even going to be the mascot of an international environment conference in Berlin in 2008.
