Well, the animal activist who was the mouthpiece for the kill him front basically felt that since the mother rejected him, humans raising him would somehow be cruel (I guess because he wouldn't have a normal polar bear life), so he should instead be put to sleep. Even though the guy (I forget his name) said in an article that they should kill him, he later said, after Knut had become something of a hero, oh i didn't mean kill, i meant in the future if this happens again they should let nature take its course.
