Just because I advocate preserving ecologically necessary species like frogs and fish low on the food chain doesn’t mean I hate Giant Pandas, guys.

It’s just that we only have a limited amount of money, and have to divvy it up accordingly…

But giant pandas are still cool, and I’m totally in favor of keeping them around if it doesn’t drain an excess of our conservation money! They’re adorable, and the wild ones are vicious to humans, and their diet and sesamoid-bone”thumb” is an amazing example of very quickly-adapting evolutionary movement in carnivores.

Besides, who could hate panda cubs?

    Pandas are the best example of a really shitty mammal.

    Despite the fact that they’re not ecologically vital, they are a charismatic species that can be used to foster public...

    I agree with you. Fuck pandas. Cute or not they...not a keystone species. Save those.
