muttondressedaslamb Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 2 pandas have arrived at Edinburgh zoo. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-16023690 I love pandas. Seen two in Washington DC and 4 in China. I'll hopefully get down to Edinburgh to see these two beauts. Anyone think this is morally wrong flying 2 pandas half way round the world to be put on display in a zoo? All they've ever done is sleep, eat bamboo which is provided on tap and shit when I've seen them. Link to comment

Pandas have a shit life in the wild, bamboo is so low in nutritional value that they have to spend pretty much their entire lives sitting around eating. Not much difference really! And if it leads to interest in preservation, breeding programmes and the like then its all good... Link to comment

Bamboo grows so fast that people who were accused of wrong doing used to be tied to and it would grow into them It's really strong too, they use it for scaffolding in China. Link to comment

Terrorfex Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Not worth the effort, in my opinion. Species with a greater chance of survival out there. Focus should be on saving those that can be saved, not a species that seems hell-bent on doing all it can to contribute to its own doom. Link to comment
muttondressedaslamb Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 haha anyone else think they look fake animals? like someone in an outfit? Haha MT. My mate said exactly the same thing as we stared at them this October. But then she preferred to see the jelly fish on offer, the freak that she is. Link to comment
minijc Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Aren't they just They really are, myself and a couple of mates are going down to see them then have a nightout with a friend who lives there, she's the lucky one though as she can go see them any time now. pics are nice btw and I agree with MT.

Dynamo Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I don't like Zoo's. Gutted for the animals that end up in them, although to be fair some of them don't know anything else. Link to comment

BrianFaePerth Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 aye was in one recently and the sno leopard and bengal tiger were just pacing up and down the same 3m squard patch of their cage. They were probably thinking if only those bars weren't there they'd have some fun Link to comment
BrianFaePerth Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 took exactly 13 steps right and 11 left...every time How's that possible? Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 They were probably thinking if only those bars weren't there they'd have some fun we could feed bad_mobby to them. that would be ace. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 how not? the ones to the left were MARGINALLY larger thats true that is. my left foot fwd stride is about 4 inches longer than my right footed one. every 5 ths stride i need to do an extra right stride to keep up Link to comment
BrianFaePerth Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 every 5 ths stride i need to do an extra right stride to keep up More commonly kent as "mincing" Link to comment
tommo1903 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 haha anyone else think they look fake animals? like someone in an outfit? Said the same for years. Their heads are too spherical and they have no neck. It is therefore, definitely not a real animal. I heard the person who plays Angus The Bull on a Saturday just got a new job in Edinburgh. Just saying. Link to comment
Dandyesque Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Anyone think this is morally wrong flying 2 pandas half way round the world to be put on display in a zoo? Nope All of the animals on display at Edinburgh Zoo were born in captivity so know no different. They'll get treated here at least as well, if not better, than they would in any other country in the world. Link to comment
Coopy100 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 They would make a decent rug or a fur coat if you shot the things and skinned them. Link to comment
The Oxford Don Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I've always thought that pandas are a bit disappointing, as someone else has already said they appear to be hellbent on wiping themselves out. Now the grizzly - there's a proper bear. It can do salmon-fishing and all manner of mean motherfucker antics. Link to comment
