"It is time to let the Panda go"

[karohemd]

Interesting viewpoint and I think quite valid as "survival of the fittest" applies here and the panda is, quite frankly, too stupidill adapted to survive. It would be entirely different if all it took was to conserve or expand his habitat.

I'd be interested to hear what my naturalist/conservationist friends think about this.

Heh, you should read the Neil Gaiman short story Sunbird, about an exclusive club of people whose aim it is to eat every single species of animal, including mystical ones (like the Sunbird).
It's in Fragile Things.

That sounds like my sort of club :)

I'm tempted to put a "Would you eat panda" poll up
