Because it is "Humiliating to be raised by humans"

These people are not pro-animals, they are anti-human.

so basically the opinion of one random guy representing some random group in Germany speaks for all animal rights groups and activists world-wide?

That IS the way it's coming across on the news.

well, I don't watch cable news or listen to talk radio, so I'm just going by stuff like this

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17703212/

The story prompted quick condemnations from the zoo, politicians and other animal rights groups.

“The killing of an animal has nothing to do with animal protection,” said Wolfgang Apel, head of the German Federation for the Protection of Animals.

Petra Pau, of the opposition Left Party, invoked the case of an Italian bear dubbed Bruno who wandered last year into southern Germany, only to be killed by hunters at the behest of local authorities worried about residents and livestock.

“Berlin is not Bavaria, therefore it will be better for Knut than Bruno,” said Miss Pau.

Nice thread titile. Too bad you ignored this bit:


The comments, made just days before Knut is scheduled to make his public debut at the zoo, drew instant condemnation from the zoo, politicians and other animal rights groups.

“The killing of an animal has nothing to do with animal protection,” said Wolfgang Apel, head of the German Federation for the Protection of Animals.

The article says "animal rights activists" plural. Don't blame the OP for that.
