[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That washingtonian instagram video with them being loaded onto the pandified fedex plane popped up in my feed and packed quite the emotional punch. [/quote]

So mean of China to first let us adopt their pandas and then taking them back. [/quote]

We never adopted the pandas.[/quote]

Dp. The US born pandas grew accustomed to American treats care and environment. Cruel of China to take them back for a whole new environment. [/quote]

What?  They’ll be going to an environment with people who are even more experienced caring for pandas, and, even better: they’re going to a home with a LOT more pandas to interact with.  If you’re going to argue that “a whole new environment “ is “cruel”, then perhaps the cruelty was having pandas shipped here from China in the first place.

It was great having the pandas here. I enjoyed watching them, and will check to see if there are other live panda cams out there that I can watch.  I think the building of the panda quarters at the National Zoo was a catalyst for renovating the zoo as a whole, upping standards for the care of many animals in zoos, and a renewed public interest in endangered species.  It was an act of diplomacy with many successes.
