that's some pretty bad luck!

at least it turned out ok, well, for her anyway. not so much the bear.

that she actually had some compassion for the bear. That, and that she wasn't seriously hurt.

it is unusual i suppose. although it didn't actually attack her

i'm not sure she'd have been so compassionate if it had.

probably not, since the reason she felt bad for it was that she thought it didn't intend to attack.

aye, presumably she knew something about bears if she was able to think that

not petting the bear means she knew something about bears.

are people really that stupid?!

lady who jumped into zoo's polar bear habitat

more detail on original Plurk. Does the bear look small to anyone else?

i have no idea what size they should be. i like how the polar bear woman was cited for trespassing! - typical germans

As she should be. We need to keep stuff like this from happening.

they should have just left her in with the bears. you do wonder why people do it - they must know they're going to get other

people to risk themselves helping them out

and cause the destruction of a captive animal.

aye, i wonder why she did it. on the other hand - the article mentions "knut", a polar bear cub which some "animal rights" activists wanted

put down so "it didn't have to live it's life in a zoo". quite what right they think they have to decide that i don't know.

Yes, because dead is better than fed, sheltered, given health care, and protected from humans.

i don't know what you have over there but we go a great line on "animal rights activists". think like your right-to-life lot - these people

would rather attack humans than see animals used for medical research, yet we have the most stringent checks on the planet for the use

of animals in research

We have PETA. I'm sure there are less messed up groups, but PETA gets the publicity.

one of our lot dug up the recently buried mother of a worker at a research centre. they really are scum. i always thought peta was like

greenpeace - noisy but ultimately pointless. are they more militant?

yup, that sounds about right. all these activists are hypocrites. if they want animal testing stopped so much then offer themselve as

subjects to be tested on.

and, wrt to vegetarians, if it's such a healthy lifestyle why do they take suppliments?

can't agree with "all", but I see your point.

it's possible to get complete proteins by combining grain with legume.

i have no idea. and yes, all was la bit broad - most is better, especially the big ones which love the publicity far more than their cause.

knows that eating the grain/legume conbo would send her glucose way too high.

probably best not to be vegitarian! - what other blood use do chickens have except being eaten anyway?!

*bloody use

right, all this talk of food is making me hungry, i shall go to bed before i decide to make a sandwich! 'night.

G'night, sparx104!
