He expressed his love in every movement of his hands and face, his tender eyes. He looked like a humble and shy man. They were made for each other. Why?? why he was grabbed from life so violently? He was given the unique mission to raise Knut before leaving this world and Knut filled his last moments with joy and unconditional love with his little boy behavior. Isn’t this amazing and indescriptable? I feel very sad for Knut and for Thomas family but He is in Heaven now, watching over Knut and proud of his little boy. R.I.P. Thomas.

This history is devastating. My deepest condolences to his wife and family. He will be living in our hearts including Knut’s, poor thing, he may be missing him a lot.Thomas showed the power of love between a man and a beast.
God bless them both.
Rest In Peace our dear Thomas

We have a moral obligation to help all life, whatever it may be. We did the correct thing to raise Knut, and we as caretakers must continue to raise him throughout his life.

Thomas Doerflein and the entire Berlin Zoo did good, and he/they should be commended. His life was far too short.

I feel very sorry about the lost of such a great man. I can’t understand why activist say such unreal things. The love that raised between those two living beings was so intense and woke up love feelings in every one of us. Some people better have to learn about this deep friendship and respect ….
I’m sorry for Thomas Family, it was surely a great father, for Knut and his children !!
Rest in peace dear Thomas

I am feeling very bad for Thomas Dorflien who had raised Knut. May his soul rest in peace.

Love is precious whether it is between humans or animals. But pet’s reciprocative love is very unconditional. They have powerful 6th sense and Knut would have known this . He must be feeling very miserable…

I agree with Sibi. And after the successful raise/release of the Hugging Lion (the one that’s getting it’s own movie) surely people can see that most animals raised by humans are loved and well-cared for. Nothing is better off dead when a loving home is an option.

That’s sad, he had all my respect for what he did with Knut and he seemed like such a good person. RIP
