    I don't care about pandas. What a useless animal. Carnivores but they eat veggies so are forced to eat nonstop just to survive. Terrible at reproducing and life in general. I see these people dressed up in panda suits bottlefeeding a bear that will probably never leave captivity and wonder how many lives could have been saved instead. Even keeping one panda in a zoo costs several million each year. I just don't feel very strongly about keeping large animals like that around if there's no chance of a wild life for the species. There's loads of animals going extinct on the all the time but no one cares unless they are big and fuzzy wuzzy.

    I think they can be pretty cute but are a touch overrated. I don't have any real strong opinions about them other than "yes cute, yes save them too", but I sorta wish more attention was given to endangered predator animals. The tigers! D:

    Pandas are cute, cause they are fluffy.

    I think it is because they are cute and cuddly that they make for a good face of conservation. In my opinion I find the black on white very visually striking, but I also appreciate their uniqueness.

    It seems a little ironic to me that snake keepers would try to degrade the importance of a living being. Conservation relies on preserving the entire ecosystem, not just the creatures we deem worthy.

    it's funny that this topic popped up when school just ended because next year is my sophomore year in high school and my precalculus c and calculus a teacher is obsessed with pandas. he apparently made a student walk out for insulting pandas xD

    Well to be fair I don't know of many people that would just randomly say they "hate" or "want them to go extinct" about any animal...

    And if you did, youd be a :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:
