Should This Polar Bear Be Put Down?

(can't find a link - sorry. Will have another look later)
Was watching Five News just now and there was a story about a baby polar bear who was abandoned by his mother. The bear is currently being raised in a Berlin zoo.
Animal rights campaigners have said that they think this bear should be put down because it's not with its mother. (or something like that)
Personally, I think it's a load of rubbish. Why should a healthy bear be put down just because it's mother isn't around?

I don't think it should be put down either. I think the person who said otherwise is wrong. WTF is wrong with humans bringing it up? It looks pretty happy to me, and even if it has to live in a zoo it still sounds a better proposition than being killed as a cub.
The activist who made the claims doesn't speak for the entire animal rights movement by any means (though that's what the Daily Mail would have us believe judging by its front page today).
If there is somebody willing to do that and money is not a problem, then I don't see why it should be put down. I think a Polar Bear would make an interesting pet, certainly beats a Chiuahua.
I don't see why they shouldn't give it a go, if things don't work out they can always put it down.
