    This isn't far off one of the most pointless threads ever. No wonder we get dubbed as trainspotters.

    And you just posted on it !

    Stick around...

    Clearly, I'm playing Devils Advocate here and I like a panda as much as the next person tbh. But after 40 odd years of hearing about how they are barely hanging in there I don't think it's completely "out there" to question whether we can actually have an effect and maybe resources could be better deployed elsewhere.

    If you want to take it to the next level maybe the conservation cause would be better served if we DID let them die out. Maybe then people would get the message about just what a mess of the planet we have made....

    Anyway, this was only meant to be a lighthearted, slightly drunk discussion so apologies for any distress caused to panda lovers.

    Bad statistic.

    97% of tigers wiped out in the last hundred years.

    The red pandas are probably the cutest animals ive ever see!

    Damn right. They were also called pandas before giant ones, so really are the pwopa pandas.

    Anyway, all animals have their part in the ecosystem. They eat plants, disperse seeds, trees grow and we get oxygen. Predators of any sort will keep numbers of other species down who could otherwise run amok eg. insects. It's all connected and was all going well until human intervention in the past 2000 years.

    The majority of the World's tigers now live in...... Texas. That's how bad things are.

    200 species dissappear everyday...we tend to worry more about the cute ones.

    ps. Nature and evolution don't have a conscience.
