And it could be the last birthday for the country's most famous polar bear in the capital city Knut is expected to say good-bye to his Berlin home in 2009 or at the latest 2010 While fans are appealing to Berlin to keep Knut but rather what has been legally agreed on "We had borrowed a male polar bear from the Zoo in Neumuenster in order to breed cubs," Blaszkiewitz said "We entered into a contract which stated that the first surviving cub is owned by the Neumuenster Zoo -- and that is Knut." Neumuenster Zoo director Peter Druewa said he doesn't know where Knut is going and when he will be leaving Berlin The future of the prominent polar bear is still written in the stars but I'm not so sure about Easter," Druewa told the German news agency DPA The European Endangered Species Program EEP Various zoos have expressed interest: potential mates in Germany are Lara in Gelsenkirchen and Flocke in Nuremberg But a zoo in Sweden is also keen to have Knut is full with the polar bear couple Kap and Maika "We don't have any more room," Druewa said "For my part he can stay," said Blaszkiewitz who in the past has not welcomed the Knut hype I'll think about how things will go on financially and structurally when it's determined that Knut isn't leaving." Rebuilding Knut's enclosure would cost several million euros "Berlin will not only be losing its best ambassador much to the regret of its international guests," said Christian Taenzler from Berlin Tourism Marketing Despite the fact that Knut is anything but cuddly anymore -- weighing more than 200 kilos and two-and-a-half meters tall standing -- he still wows his fans More than five million visitors have come to see Knut since his world premiere in March 2007 "The story of his upbringing by Thomas Doerflein stays in the minds and hearts of the people," Taenzler said But one of his last wishes could still be fulfilled "I hope Knut will move to a nice zoo outside of Berlin where he can be with his own kind and maybe even father children," Doerflein said in an interview prior to his death "He should lose his close bond to humans and just be a polar bear." who provoked fierce debate on animal rights appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine at the height of his fame and has latterly been diagnosed as being addicted to human laughter and applause However, the latest twist in the Knut saga is centred around money – and precisely who has the rights to the Knut goldmine A legal battle between two zoos has begun in Berlin, with the Neumuenster zoo in northern Germany claiming it is due a slice of the Knut millions because the polar bear's father, Lars, resides there and, as such, it is the legal owner of Lars's first offspring. Knut himself lives in Berlin zoo, where he is thought to have been the cause of a €5m (£4m) increase in revenue last year. Visitor numbers rose by 30%, making it the most successful year in the zoo's 163-year history. Neumuenster zoo says that when the polar bear cub was born in 2006 a deal was made with the Berlin zoo over the issue. However, while Berlin zoo says it recognises Neumuenster's ownership in principle, it maintains that does not give the zoo a right to any proceeds from Knut's incredible popularity. Peter Druewa, the zoo director at Neumuenster, said in a statement that his zoo had tried to negotiate with Berlin zoo but was now looking to a court in Berlin for a ruling on the matter. ''We do not want to remove Knut from his environment,'' he said. ''But we have a right to our request for money.'' Knut won over the hearts and minds of Germans and went on to attract worldwide popularity after he was rejected by his mother, Tosca, soon after birth. A debate began about intervening to keep him alive Zookeepers pulled him from a rock in the enclosure with an extended fishing net before placing him in an incubator to help him survive. Most recently came the reports that Knut was addicted to human attention. In March this year, Markus Röbke, one of the keepers who helped rear Knut, told Bild the bear had become so used to attention that he cried when there was no one near his enclosure. "Knut needs an audience," Röbke stated. "That has to change." Since then efforts have been made for the polar bear to live a more independent existence.

Capture of former regional leader sparked demonstrations in Barcelona attended by tens of thousands I would like to be emailed about offers, events and updates from The Independent. Read our Privacy notice Catalonia‘s former president must remain in custody in Germany while the country’s courts decide whether to extradite him to Spain Carles Puigdemont’s arrest on Sunday saw tens of thousands of Catalan demonstrators take to the streets in Barcelona Fierce confrontations took place outside the central government offices as riot police beat flag-waving protesters with batons Around 100 people were hurt across the Catalan region including 23 members of the Mossos d’Escuadra police force A court in the northern German town of Neumuenster said the formal requirements to detain Mr Puigdemont had been met by a European arrest warrant issued in Spain The court denied him bail and said he posed a flight risk concluding he had a “strong incentive” to try to travel to Belgium where his chances of avoiding extradition may be greater European rules call for a final decision on extradition within 60 days of the suspect’s arrest Spain‘s government said Mr Puigdemont’s arrest, at a highway rest area south of the German-Danish border as he attempted to drive from Finland to Belgium, shows “nobody can infinitely mock justice.” The country’s authorities accuse Mr Puigdemont, 55, of rebellion and misuse of public funds for organising an unauthorised referendum last year on independence for Catalonia. Madrid deemed the referendum illegal and took over direct rule of the wealthy northeastern region after a symbolic declaration of independence by the Catalan parliament. Authorities examining a European arrest warrant must determine whether the offence a suspect is accused of committing is equivalent to a criminal offence in the country where he was arrested. Germany’s criminal code includes an offence which appears to be comparable to rebellion. It calls for prison sentences for anyone who “undertakes, by force or through threat of force” to undermine the republic’s existence or change its constitutional order. Mr Puigdemont and other Catalan separatists who are wanted by Spain after fleeing the country argue their movement has been entirely peaceful.

Das ist aber nicht mit allen Tieren so einfach.“ Zum Beispiel Vitus, der Eisbär. Er zählt mit seinem Gewicht von ungefähr 700 Kilogramm zu den Größten seiner Art in Deutschland kann ich den nicht einfach in eine Kiste stecken und woandershin transportieren.“ So ein großes Tier kriege man nicht mal eben schnell bei einem Kollegen untergebracht das man auch mal in einen Eselstall stellen kann für das man eine adäquate Anlage benötigt.“ Pläne für Notschlachtungen sind dem Verband der Zoologischen Gärten (VdZ) nach eigener Aussage nicht bekannt „Das ist nicht das Thema was wir derzeit haben“ Allerdings sei die Lage die Lage in den Zoos durchaus relativ besorgniserregend Man habe seit vier Wochen geschlossen und gleichbleibend hohe Kosten bei keinerlei Einnahmen „Und Homeoffice mit Elefant geht halt auch nicht“ Eine Diskussion über Notschlachtungen führt aus Sicht des Verbandes an den eigentlichen Geldproblemen vorbei Denn die großen Ausgaben eines Zoos seien nicht das Futter Deshalb hat der Verband bereits Ende März für seine 56 Mitgliedszoos ein Soforthilfe-Programm in Höhe von 100 Millionen Euro erbeten Derzeit versuche man unter einen Rettungsschirm zu kommen Auch der Zoo in Neumünster ist Mitglied beim Verband Dort ist auch Zoochefin Caspari zuversichtlich dass es nicht zu Notschlachtungen kommen wird den Neumünsteranern Fisch und Fleisch zukommen zu lassen „wenn hier der allerschlimmste Fall eintreten würde“ Die Haus- und Nutztierpark „Arche Warder“ hat wegen der Corona-Krise ebenfalls „große finanzielle Sorgen und Engpässe aber so etwas ziehe ich zur Zeit nicht in Erwägung“ Er habe für seine 1200 Tiere aus 83 Rassen einen Notfallplan erarbeitet „so dass wir um solche Maßnahmen erst einmal herumkommen“ Peter-Ording und im Wildpark Eekholt gibt es den Angaben zufolge aktuell keine Pläne für Notschlachtungen Hagenbecks Tierpark in Hamburg hat ebenfalls keine so extremen Pläne „Zu Notschlachtungen in Tierparks darf es in der Corona-Krise nicht kommen“ mahnt Schleswig-Holsteins Umweltminister Jan Philipp Albrecht (Grüne) „Bund und Länder stellen bereits zahlreiche finanzielle Hilfen bereit Ab Anfang der nächsten Woche können voraussichtlich Förderanträge gestellt werden dass im Zuge möglicher Lockerungen von Corona-Schutzmaßnahmen Tierparks unter bestimmten Auflagen zeitnah wieder geöffnet werden dürfen“ In anspruchsvollen Berufsfeldern im Stellenmarkt der SZ. .css-5x0u19{-webkit-text-decoration:none;text-decoration:none;}Gutscheine.css-pcxqtt{border:0;clip:rect(0 0 0 0);height:1px;margin:-1px;overflow:hidden;padding:0;position:absolute;white-space:nowrap;width:1px;}:
