Subject: Berlin zoo ends bear-keeper romps
Written By: Philip Eno on 07/09/07 at 2:27 pm
A polar bear cub who became the star attraction at a Berlin zoo is to stop appearing in shows with his keeper because he has grown too big.
The zoo said Knut the polar bear would no longer frolic with keeper Thomas Doerflein in twice-daily shows that have drawn more than a million people.
The seven-month-old bear, now weighing 50kg (110 lbs), will reportedly have his enclosure entirely to himself.
He was adopted by Mr Doerflein after his mother rejected him at birth.
Media interest in Knut's story soared after an animal rights activist was quoted as saying the bear ought to have been killed - rather than being reared by humans.

That is most illogical.
