Heh. Have you seen recent pictures of Knut the cuddly polar bear cub? He's now a massive, spoiled, adolescent bear capable of killing a man with a swat.

I've been watching some of the Animal Planet show "Growing Up X" where X is an animal that for whatever reason is being raised by humans at a zoo or sanctuary. Like, "Growing Up Tiger," where two cubs were being raised in a family home. Even if I wasn't allergic to cats I would think A HUNDRED AND TWICE before doing that.
