Just let the Pandas die off already

Look.. it's a real tragedy that we destroyed all the panda habitats. That sucks. But we did. Assuming we are not going to give them back there land... lets just let them die off. The money that's spent on trying to get pandas to screw could be going to other conservation efforts.

What the fuck? How can someone hate animals that much?

I actually love animals! I foster cats. It just seems like news about pandas having a tough time is ever present. Just let them go already

Why? Why saving cats but letting Pandas die?

Cats are capable of reproducing on there own, without a lot of help. Left alone they'd be fine. In fact, many organizations in my area catch, spay/neuter and release cats to cut down the population. Not so with pandas. They're fussy little bears who don't seem to want to live

Pandas in captivity need to be shown panda porn so they have an idea on how to procreate, and even then it's very difficult. They are also, like all bears, carnivorous animals, but pandas have lost almost completely the ability to hunt, and so have to rely on bamboo. However, bamboo doesn't provide all the nutrients nor the energy that an adult panda requires, nor are their digestive systems adapted to an all vegetarian diet, and thus they have to spend a lot of time eating and are chronically malnourished. It's like pandas have given up on living.

Well the governments destroyed the pandas' land for money so I guess it's only fair if they spent it on saving them

Yeah sure.. but.. forever? Plenty of species are dying out.

Doesn't mean pandas don't deserve to be saved

I actually think more money should be spent trying to save them all

Nobody is going to donate big to save the 3-striped dick snail. Pandas are cuddly and empathetic. What you want to do is keep a bare minimum of pandas alive as a fundraising mascot, and then use the money on species worth saving.

That's pretty much what's happening. Gigantic reserves were stablished in Sichuan province to help pandas. However, pandas are not the only endangered species living there, so all the money and effort that has been spent on protecting the pandas has helped many other species.

I can't tell if all these replies so far are jokes or not.

I’m surprised those clumsy bastards haven’t died of already.

I mean we are also a thing that exists in chaos theory and the ecosystem. Things can die off and it's fine. Nature will adapt, and who knows maybe something will re-evolve into it, maybe it wont.

Who knows maybe we'll die off and they'll come back. I agree 100% just let it happen.

Eat the rest while we still can and be done with it.

Doesn’t China make a shitload of profit from loaning pandas to zoos around the world? There’s no way they’re going to let that paycheck go.

Edit: spelling
