The Tragic End

The year 2010 marked the end of the remarkable friendship between the bear and the cat.  Muschi was left alone when Mäuschen was euthanized by the zookeeper because of several diseases she was suffering from. Suspiciously, the zookeepers did not reveal the movement disorders that made them euthanize the old bear. In addition to that, the zoo did not put forth any evidence that substantiates the requirement of Gnadenspritze for her. Furthermore, it is not clear what actually happened to her remains as mentioned earlier the zoo was defamed for using animal remains in illegally. The director had been accused of killing one-hundred-fifty animals for different reasons. However, whatever the reasons were the cherished friendship had come to an end.

This particular zoo has seen many unusual friendships. The next story is about a polar bear named Knut and his atypical friendship with a human. Their friendship made headlines worldwide but unfortunately met a sad end too.
