Knut 1

Why do humans and animals need each other to coexist?

I think animals need humans because humans can help to provide food for humans. Also, humans can take care of hurt or endangered animals and help them to recover to their full health. Animals also help to provide food for humans. For example, cows provide beef and milk for humans and chickens provide chicken and eggs.

Human and animals need eachother to coexist. The reason's that humans need animals are because they need the protein that only some fruits and vegetables give us, they also need animals as pets and for company. Animals need Chumash also because like Knut if peopleor zookeepers didn't save him he would have died...

I think that humans and animals need each other to coexist because animals can help humans by making food for humans and the food that comes from them gives us a lot of energy humans can also be helpful to the animals because the humans can help the animals if their endangered or helpless as in the animals being sick and almost dieing.

I beg to differ Afm, because not every polar bear are gentle I mean none of them are. They can bite and scratch. They are wild animals!

Unknown said...

I beg to differ with you Rohon because even if every polar bear are not sweet like Knut, they deserve to live,too. They might be harmful, but that is because they don't know humans that much because their animals.

Afm Khan said...

Rohan, I don't mean all animals. I mean animals that are domisticated like cats, dogs, and some birds. I also concur with you Saddichhya because animals and people do need each other to coexist.

Sadditchya, you repeated your comment. I think humans and animals need each other to coexist because humans are caring and can help feed animals and care of them. I concur with you Afm because humans can help take care of animals and do what animals can't do. I also think humans need each other to coexist because animals can't survive in the wild. Some people think that humans do not need animals and that animals can live on their own in the wild(like the man in Knut who wrote that statement in the newspaper, for instance) however I believe(along with Knut's fans) that we shouldn't just not let animals live on their own, like Thomas thought. Animals are very helpful, and can help those who are blind, like watch dogs. Humans need animals for support, too. This is why humans need animals to coexist.Also, I beg to differ with you Rohan because wild animals can be tamed.

I think that humans and animals need each other to coexist because then the animals and humans will share a good relationship. Without an animal or a pet there will be nothing to accompany to people, and without a human being the animal will not be trained to do something besides of what they learn from their mother.In a regular food chain, it starts by a sun onto a grass or a tree continued to an animal. Just think what will happen if the grass dies along withe animals. We won't be able to eat. I also think that animals and human beings need each other to coexist because according to the book "Knut" Knut made a great experience to Thomas. It's like when you get a new toy and the toy gives you a great company and experience. If it wasn't for Knut, Thomas wouldn't have ever felt like he was a father to a polar bear cub. _ L.R

Unknown said...

I beg to differ with you Rohan because as Tazrean said, wild animals can be tamed. In the book "Knut" Knut didn't always scratch or hurt Thomas. Yes, he did pull his hair and stuff but come on he's only an wild animal.the thing is that Thomas atleast took care of Knut instead of what other people would do, euthanize them. This is why Rohan not every polar bear are dangerous, unless you train them to be more careful and not to hurt other people. -L.R

Unknown said...

Humans and animals definitely need each oter to coexist because sometimes animals provide food. For example, a chicken or cow helps out by giving us meat to eat. Pursing this further, also we take care of them like farmers. Finally, we can help each other out, like say you are depressed and your dog helps you cheer up. Or it can be the other way around. In short, humans and animals need each other to coexist.

Animals need humans and humans need animals because to coexist because some animals like dogs give joy and Knut brings joy to Thomas.Also animals help humans because donkeys help carry things in Peru also some dogs are guard dogs or golden retrievers retrieve hunted animals .Also if Knut wasn't saved he would have died.If Matthew Henson didn't have have a dog sled then he could have died while going to the North Pole.

The Whatever Girl said...

I completely concur with you Lamiya because wild animals can be tamed. I also think that domestic animals can change with the help of humans, like how Thomas tried to tame Knut. Plus, Knut represents that humans and animals need each other to coexist, and that one animal can make a big difference.

Unknown said...

I concur with you Shayan because humans and animals need each other to coexist so that they could provide us food. I also concur with you Tazrean because domestic animals help people feel that they have love for them, just like when a new born baby is born. If humans and animals weren't there people wouldn't know the consequences of the love people or animals have for them. - L.R

F.A.N said...

I concur with you Afm because humans feed animals. Mothers also don't take care of them sometimes.

Alvy6132 said...

I think that humans need animals to live because some animals are food for humans. Animals need humans to coexist because humans can provide food for animals. Some animals can hurt humans but many animals don't hurt humans and animals and humans can help each other because we need each other to coexist. Many animals can be like Knut and some animals aren't. Animals make humans coexist and humans help animals coexist.

Unknown said...

Fahim, I concur with you that some animals mother leave them alone like Knut but it doesn't happen often. Yes, it might happen to animals but i think that because an human being does not compare an animal raising it's young. I beg to differ with you Fahim about the part when you said that a mother doesn't care for its young because some animals don't exactly really know how to take care of a baby. Some people may think that humans need each other to coexist because of the food they are provide us, however I think something totally different. I think that it has something to do with the affection of love humans have for animals. In the book "Knut" Thomas used to take care of Knut day and night but he did it because he doesn't want Knut to pass away like his brother did. This is why I think that human beings and animals need to communicate and interact with each other.

Unknown said...

I believe that humans and animals need each other to coexist because Knut needed Thomas since his mom didn't take care of him properly. Some people believe that animals should be left to die because they are wild, but I believe that it is no harm to try.

Unknown said...

I agree with you Fahim and Lamiya because since Knut's mom wasn't able to take care of Knut properly, Knut had Thomas and Andres, and without them, it would be hard to find someone to care for Knut as much as these two did. Not only do they need each other for food, but for love and support. Knut loved the affection he got from Thomas that he used to show his affection by liking his face. This is the great bond an animal and human shared.

I wonder why Knut liked Thomas and got along, maybe Knut thought he was his (DAD) like in the story when it said foster dad.

The Whatever Girl said...

To answer your question Fahim, I think that Knut(polar bears don't really have dads, I think) must have put trust in Thomas, because Thomas was like his caretaker and his mother to him.

Unknown said...

Animals and humans need each other to co-exist because that's the food chain. For example, ants eat grass, the ants get eaten by birds, birds get eaten by small animals, and it could go on until the end of the food chain, which is us! Kayla Cabili

The Whatever Girl said...

Animals aren't just needed for the food chain only, because they aren't food only. Some humans are veternarians, and they earn money by helping animals. If animals and humans didn't coexist, than some of us wouldn't have jobs and would have trouble earning money.

Unknown said...

i think that humans can help animals when they are hurt

Unknown said...

if a animal gets hurt a person can help them but without humans animals would have to help themselves

I concur with Tazrean and Afm and Lamiya etc. Animals need humans and humans need animals to survive. We need them to keep the food chain moving, and for our own food supply. Also, animals are usually a mans/women's best friend. They give us comfort, and for instance, the other day a i heard on the news that a man was on the railroad or maybe the street, and he must've been deaf cause the train/car was coming, and his dog pushed him out of the way. Also, animals need us in order to survive and stay healthy. Some people may think that animals abuse us, and might do the unexpected, but sometimes, you can teach them to be as smart as a human.

Humans and animals need each other to coexist. Humans need animals to exist because they need it as a source of food, such as chickens (and their eggs), cows, lambs, and turkeys. Another reason we need animals is for labor. For example, in farms, cows do waste to fertilize the soil, and worms decompose the waste. Working together, they benefit the farmer financially, so that farmers can plant new crop and sell it. Lastly, humans need animals for clothing. Native Americans use buffalo skin to make their clothes, and we use wool to make comfy, soft sweaters for the winter.
On the contrary, Animals need us to exist also. One example is when domesticated animals need care, food and shelter, such as cattles, horses, cats and dogs. Another reason they need us is for company such as pets, like my red ear sliders (turtle). Finally, i believe that animals really need us to exist because in the non fiction, Knut, Knut was saved when his mother abandoned him, because Thomas felt sympathetic and took him in to his own house. If it wasn't for Thomas, Knut wouldn't have survived to become the celebrity he was. To sum up, animalias and homosapiens need each other mutually to coexist

Humans and animals need to coexist.The reason they need to coexist because certain people eat animals such as chicken,and more for them to get protein.

That still doesnt show why Tazrean.

Crossides said...

I think animals and humans need each other to coexist because animals give humans food and humans give shelter to some animals.Humans adopt dogs,cats,snakes,and many other animals.They give shelter to those pets.However, animals give humans food in their way.Cows give us milk and their meat.We eat many other animals.Well some people are vegetarian.

Anonymous said...

i think animals and humans need each other because we need food from each other. Also animals might need the humans to give them food if they dont have parents. Also humans can take care animals such as endangered species.I also beg to differ with rohan because some polar bears are nice and some are worser than tigers. To sum it up humans and animals need each other.

Anonymous said...

iustain 5animals also give people food and many other things. For example sweaters from sheep. Also milk and meat from cows. lol

Unknown said...

I think that humans and animals need each other to coexist because if we didn not have animals in the world, we would not have been alive. In the old times, people used animal fur/skin as jackets for the cold weather, they also used animals for transpertation, and we are eating the animals meat and also milk, or eggs. If there were no animals, our great grandparents would not have been able to survive in the cold weather, or when the crops didnt grow.Animals also need humans. For example, Knut died when he was three, and his brother died 4 days after birth.He was being raised by humans, but if his mother raised him they would have died even earlier. Another example is endangered animals gets saved by extintion, thanks to humans. To conclude, humans and animals need each other to coexist.

I concur with you Shaqib because in the old days, people did use animals like sheep to help them stay warm in winter.
~Afm Khan

Unknown said...

Afm, I'm sorry I didn't understand. And I also think that Knut should have and shouldn't have been saved. I say yes, because Knut could have died, if he was all alone. And I say no, because Knut is not a de-whatever- and that means he/she can just kill Thomas right away if it get's scared.

Unknown said...

I concur with you, Tazrean. Because humans can help animals by providing food for them. I personally feel that humans and animals are the same. Some animals are endangered so humans can sometimes provide protection for them. Animals can also help humans with a food issue because humans eat animals such as cows, chicken, and goat. This is why humans and animals need each other to coexist.

I think undomesticated animals should'nt be saved. I concur with rohan because Knut might have a possibility to kill other animals in the zoo and humans.

The Whatever Girl said...

I concur with you Prithila because animals and humans needed to be treated like an equal, and when they coexist, it proves animals and humans can become one. This is true because there are lots of books about animals and humans getting along well, and the world love Knut and treated him like an equal, giving care and love.This makes me realize that many people could be able to coexist with humans, besides the food chain. Also, there is animal abuse and cruelty, and if animals and humans coexist, maybe that would end.

F.A.N said...

Also Knut means a family to thomas and Thomas treats Knut with care.

I concur with you Tazrean because the book Knut could prove that only just humans could get along with other animals but also animals. According to the book "Owen and Mzee" it showed how friendship could be developed if you care a lot for something. The same with Thomas and Knut, their friendship is a good one because it shows other people that sometimes, you could also become friends with undomesticated animals. - L.R

I concur with you Shaqib because back then, animals were put to great use. If they didn't cooperate and humans and animals didn't coexist, then we wouldn't get the food or their skin. Plus, animals and humans need to coexist so they could trust each other. Animals don't trust humans because humans hunt them legal or not, humans kill them for value, and abuse them, and hoard them. I think this makes humans and animals coexisting even more important.

Afm Khan said...

I concur with you Shaqib because people can help to keep animals alive because there might be animals that scientists are still studying and if they become extinct, we'll never know enough about them. I concur with you Tazrean too because animals should be treated as equals to humans, not lower.

Mr Alp3er whens the next blog

Unknown said...

I concur with you Tazrean because if animals become extinct, we won't be able to eat them (like cows, goats, and chickens) and that will cause the human population to decrease. This may lead people in the world to believe that we should help animals out so no one in this world could get extinct.

Afm Khan said...

I concur with you Lamiya because many people in the world are carnivores and if all the animals like chickens, cows and goats die out, it will be hard for the carnivore people to adjust to eating vegetables and fruits.

i think animals need humans because if knut didn't get saved by humans their would not be a concern for the existence of polar bears

Unknown said...

I think animals need humans to coexist because humans can do things that animals can't.For example humans don't have to run away from prey.Animals have to do this almost everyday and while at a very young age.In the book Knut Thomas helped Knut to live as long as he did.If Thomas and Andre did not help Knut,Knut he probably would not have lived as long as he did and probably would have died along with his brother.This proves that animals need humans to coexist because humans can sometimes help animals that are in need of help and can't help themselves and humans sometimes are able to these animals.

Unknown said...

I concur with you Amoni because if it weren't for Thomas and Andre, Knut could have died or euthanize by the hunters in the forest or the woods.This makes me think that they both are kind because they took care of Knut, checking him every few minutes.

Unknown said...

Thomas Dörflein died in 22 September 2008 of a heart attack. Check this site for his death:

Unknown said...

Thank you for the information Shayan. I also think that Knut is a lucky polar bear becasue without Thomas and Andre he would have died along with his brother. -L.R

Syed, I beg to differ with you because Tho`mas didn't take Knut to his house but he took him to the the zoo so that there would be more supplies to feed the animals and take care of them. ~ Lamiya R.

Unknown said...

I concur with you Anas because many people don't care for the existence of polar bears and soon when their are gone many animals lives can be in danger or it can decrease their populations. ~Lamiya R.

Human beings need animals to survive and vice verca because animals provide humans food, and humans help the populations save themselves from being extinct.
~Angel

Unknown said...

It is important that humans and animals have each other to coexist for many different reasons, but two of the most important reasons are that (1) Many different species of animals can be saved each day with humans help such as Knut, or Miza and (2) animals can help humans with many different things such as feed humans(even though some people are vegetarians) , use their fur for clothing, or use them for medications.Now that I look at it, humans use animals for a lot more negative things than positive , and maybe humans are taking animals for granted. I also noticed that a lot of the comments mentioned how humans need animals not why animals need humans...BTW Afm reread your first comment you said humans can help provide humans food.

I think that animals and humans need to coexist because our life would be complete without them. Humans and animals are both consumers but we should use less producer's because once the plants are gone, so are we. This makes me realize that we all need to work out in a system because food is important to all of us.

Unknown said...

If there weren't nay animals then that would mean that their would be no us. If there weren't any animals we would have to adapt to a cold climate because some animals provide fur which keeps us warm during the winter. We would also have to adjust to only being a vegetarian all the time because by then the animals would have been dead. Animals and human also need to coexist because we both provide each other plenty of things and if we weren't there, the world would've been incomplete.
