Pandas. WTF?

Should pandas (and koalas) be helped to survive?

He could get up that step if he was trained by Dustin Hoffman!

 
What we learn trying to save pandas might have other useful applications. Just saying "fuck 'em, let the morons die" does nothing.

While I agree that futility is an important lesson, I think we could watch Congress for that.

Ok, this animal is retarded. I put for the the proposition that any animal too retarded to breed (I'm looking at you too, koala's) should be allowed to stupid themselves out of existence.


Edit: Damn it. In the poll it should say "animals" before the word "too".

Koalas like to have sex (they're one of the most promiscuous animals around), they have insanely high amounts of syphilis that plague their fertility numbers.

The ones in the wild are going extinct due to hunting, poaching, and the destruction of their habitat. That nice bamboo flooring you've been dreaming about? There's a cost to that.

Pretty sure it's only the panda's in captivity that are having a problem. I can't say I'd be terribly interested procreation if I was in captivity and knew my kids would be too.

Nope. Pandas also rarely breed in the wild.

Look, I'm all for protecting animals and the environment, but it's stupid and naive to think that no animal (especially the cute fuzzy ones) is going to be unscathed from the mass expansion of humanity, or not realize that species go extinct all the time. We're currently in the sixth largest extinction period that has ever existed. There is some evidence that this is caused by humans, and there is other evidence that points to a cyclical purging of extremely specialized and dependent species. Let's face facts here, if a species has evolutionarily adapted to eating one specific food source and rarely copulates, it's a great mix for an extinct species. This is why rainforest species are going extinct at the highest rates out of any species on the planet.

I do believe that if you get caught hunting panda in China, they throw you into one of their infamous bottomless pits.

The ONLY reason anyone gives a shit about Pandas is because they're cute and fuzzy. There is nothing really being learned other than techniques on how to get Pandas to fuck. The reason why there's so much panda propaganda is this:



Pandas bring in TONS of funding to the WWF. I suppose that money goes into other projects as well. That's the only reason to keep pandas around.

These guys are endangered:



They're a species of ants that live in Maryland. How many fundraiser drives have you seen for them? I'd go so far as to say ants are a much more useful species for the environment than fat-ass Pandas.




Soooooo....


An example of animals that is going extinct directly and solely due to hunting and poaching: elephants and gorillas. I believe efforts that are focused towards pandas should be redirected and aimed squarely at protecting animals that are undeniably endangered because of direct human activity.
 
I can totally go for a panda steak right now. :D
Medium rare. :awesome:[/QUOTE]

Oh, and for the record: I do think Chaz has actually made me reconsider. I guess there's a first for everything, even someone being convinced by an on line argument :-P
 
I support my bear and bear-shaped brethren.

But some food for thought though. Is it possible that some species are evolving to require human intervention? Sort of a form of symbiosis with man.



Also we should totally hop up some koalas and pandas on crystal meth and LSD and let them pitfight for our amusement.

Yeah, they're called rats, pigeons, dogs, cats, cattle, etc...
 
How can you not fucking love Pandas? They are cute and cuddly and amazing. Fuck yeah I don't care if we have to make them breed, they are friggin awesome.
 
We should try to make domestic animals out of pandas.

That's my solution to every animal problem, though. Just make pets out of them and have rich fat ladies buy them little pet sweaters for the winter.

They are much more likely to survive if we make them into a food source than into a pet.

No one worries that cows, pigs, or chickens will become extinct.
