Knut is dead

I think Ansley just told Naomi that she was special.

.

Did anyone of you guys hear about him? Was he also famous in the USA? In Europe there was quite a hype about him. A few years ago in 2008 his "human father" died of a heart attack very sudden also. What a sad coincidence :-((

Secretariat is probably the closest thing that the US has had to a "star" animal .. and that was before the movie was made. Long time, gruff sports writers cried when Secretariat died. Originally Posted by discreetgent

aaaaah NOW i understand. ..... Isabella, oh lala, i am sure she was hot? Wasn`t she?...... as well as about Secretariat...... Sorry, takes a while til news reach europe..... ha ha ha. you guys are funny........

i googled secretariat, will look into that movie...its interesting how people and the mass media can get attached to a hype around one person or one animal, right?

ah ok, well that explains..... don`t you americans have any "star" animals that gotten international knowledge like Knut - sweetie did? He was such a superstar in Europe , when he died the medias were full of it. ... Does this never happen here ? :-)))
ps: no , i don`t mean Lassie and Free Willie :-))))) (lol) Originally Posted by ninasastri

I am sure, and totally agree. And of course there were no "hidden messages" underneath all of that, for example some that did not immidiately relate back to "bear" and "animal", shame on anyone who would think such a thing? We are never talking in riddles, are we? So i agree, there was no threadjack and we can continue to discuss all the other lovely animals :-).
Naomi, what were you thinking???

Knut won my hear though. Very cute bear. Makes me all warm and fuzzy.
