I f*cking hate pandas

[Anonymous]

I wish they would go extinct. Which is apparently what they want, too, since they are so spectacularly bad at reproducing.

They are too incompetent and lazy to have sex, so tell me why we should be wasting scientific funding on getting a big fat loser raccoon species to bump uglies? And when it inevitably doesn't happen, why are we spending more research money to artificially knock these craptacular dopes up? It's not like we can ever release them back into the wild, because they'll just promptly go extinct due to their middle-school-nerd level prowess with the opposite sex. So it's not like we're doing anything other than preserving an expensive, shitty, perpetually-owned-by-China zoo freeloader. I'd rather spend that money and resources on one of the hundreds of animal species that go extinct every day that would actually attempt NOT to go extinct, if given the chance.

P.S. I'm a bleeding-heart liberal and I love animals. I just F*CKING HATE PANDAS.

Calm the bleep down, fool.

Because the pandas bring a gazillion people to the National Zoo, and these people spend a gazillion bucks on popcorn and stuffed pandas -- all of which goes to support the animals besides the pandas that you care about.

Aww.... There, there. Had a rough day OP? I think someone needs a panda hug.

I agree, they're nothing but welfare bears. They aren't that cute, too lazy to hunt (unless you consider bamboo prey) and I heard they smell like a combination of menthol cigarettes and potato salad.

I hate cats.

I know, their food is sub par. But what can I expect from a chain restaurant.

Oh, are you TTC and having a hard time? I feel your pain but you are in the wrong forum and it's really dumb to be jealous of a zoo animal. Get a grip.

When the Cornell ornithology lab did a webcam about the baby herons last spring, both DH and I donated. The money went for lots of ornithology projects besides the herons who were already set in their nest, thank you. Same principle.

Yeah, this is the sort of random hostility that makes us wonder what YOUR personal pain is.

I'm not TTC and have thought the same thing. Let them go...........it's what they want!

We have to support them since we ruined their natural habitat and the environment. Only fair.

I'm not I fan, but what I really hate is all the attention they get, especially at the zoo. Half the time they're asleep or hiding behind bamboo.
