Pandas - To be or not to be?

[bright maroon]

I just finished watching that BBC Wild China series and I learned something interesting...

Bamboo forests will bloom..maybe once in a hundred years...and then it will die..the entire forest..

In the past, pandas would just trek over to the next bamboo forest - but as a result of human development..they can't do this anymore...THAT is what is messing up Pandas..humans fragmenting their bamboo forests..

So it is our fault.

you win for being nicer about it than me. i get pissed off and mean.

oh my word.

what's happened? I go away for a lil while I come back to find myself agreeing with Parson?!!

Panda's are dope, a carnivore that has become a veggie in the animal world? that is impressive.

Last I heard Panda's have no problem breeding in the wild, their problem is that their aren't many off them, as as mentioned human development has fragmented their habitat which makes it hard for them to meet and close to impossible to film.

What people mistake is the Pandas decision not to sully itself by reproducing in captivity under the constant eye of what I presume must be latent bestiality obsessed "scientists" and it getting it on in the wild where it can let it all swing out and not worry about some passing human taking the piss or filming it to broadcast to the world (on a side note half the stuff shown on wildlife documentaries would not even make it to TV after watershed if it was humans, what's up with that?)

What we need to do is not spend our cash on trying to force these creature to bonk in captivity but spend it on keeping their wild habitat in place, then at least it is up to them whether they stay around or not.
