Baby polar bear 'will be spared,' proclaims zoo

Knut the cute Polar bear will NOT be destroyed despite fears over his 'humanisation', Berlin Zoo's chief vet said today.

Hardline animal-rights activists demanded that the four-month-old Knut – who was rejected by his mother shortly after he was born - should be put down because he is totally reliant on humans.

Distraught schoolchildren waving placards saying ’Knut must live! and ’Knut does good!’ protested at the zoo’s Polar bear enclosure following the news that death might seriously be an option for the star draw of the animal kingdom.

But Knut has been spared. "There will be no executioner coming for him, I guarantee you," said Berlin Zoo chief vet Andre Schuele.

"Those who say he should die have entirely the wrong mindset."
