Recently, a polar bear cub was rejected by its mother in a German zoo.  Had this happened in the wild, the cub would have been left to fend for itself, and would quite likely have died.  In this case, however, zookeepers decided to care for the cub by hand, a decision which has ironically prompted outrage from at least one animal rights group, who have suggested that it would be more humane to kill the cub, rather than allow it to become dependent on humans for its entire life.    This is an interesting point, and one which has dark but intriguing ramifications when applied to certain other species - namely, homo sapiens.  Artificially prolonging the lifespan of genetically inferior instances of the species runs counter to the purpose of evolution.  It makes us all weaker.

CHICAGO - "Animal Grossology," the new exhibition at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, could easily have been a lot grosser. Sure, there's plastic excrement in the exhibit room, skunk scent for spritzing, and robot animals that use cutesy terms like "barf" and "dookie" while talking about hairballs and digestive tracts...
