It's bad enough that this bear actually behaved like a predator (I know, what was he thinking, right?), now we face the prospect of bear crap run off tainting Germany's pristine environment!

Germany's celebrity polar bear Knut has triggered a new controversy by fishing out 10 live carp from his moat and killing them in front of visitors.

Critics say Berlin Zoo should not have put live fish inside Knut's enclosure. But German media report that the carp were put there to eat up algae.

There is speculation that hand-reared Knut killed the carp just for fun.

According to the German media, he "senselessly murdered the carp." Huh. A predatory species not showing a high level of respect for its prey like a Hollywood American Indian who just shot a dear? Good heavens, what is this world coming to? Next thing you know, cats will toy with mice for amusement before killing them, and dogs will start going around killing anything small and furry that they can get their teeth and claws on! See America, this is what happens when you play way too many violent video games in front of your pets and wildlife!

Any day now we can probably expect German environmentalists to start worrying about the effects of allowing bears an unfettered right to shit in the woods will have on Germany's water supply...
