to think that giant pandas are rubbish and deserve extinction.

[TeggieCampbeggBlegg]

they only eat one food that is nutritionally crap and are no good at breedinh.

Admittedly they look cute but as a spieces they are completely rubbish.

[SadGiantPanda]

Oops, squashed her.

Oh well. Feck off.

[SummerRainIsADistantMemory]

I've been saying this for years.

I read somewhere (not sure if it's true) that they're biologically designed to be omnivores but for some reason won't feed properly. Now if that's not an argument for letting the tubby feckers die out like nature intended.

That and the fact that they're so crap at parenting they intentionally let one cub die as they can't be fecked feeding it

Evolutionary dead end which should be allowed to die out as nature intended.

I just hope no pandas are reading this thread
Mumsnet at it's worst.

[TeggieCampbeggBlegg]

I am not pandaist. Some of my close friends are pandas. I just think they are a bit crap.

[NoelHeadbands]

So hang on...is there more than one type of panda?

The giant panda and the non-giant panda?

[NoelHeadbands]

I'm not pandaist but... I think they're rubbish.

Deffo not pandaist though, my cousin is married to a panda.

[SPBInDisguise]

The ones I saw at Edinburgh and the source of my expertise weren't giant. My children have bigger stuffed toys. Mind you that's another thread in its own right

[SPBInDisguise]

They can't be that close to extinction, everyone on this thread is.claiming to be related to one!

[5Foot5]

they only come into season for about 5 minutes every 3 years (slight exaggeration).

Not that much of an exaggeration. I saw then on the news the other night and it said that the female is only fertile for 36 hours in a year! And I am sure I read somewhere once that the female genitalia is sort of S shaped making it kind of difficulty for the male to do the job properly.

Sure they are cute and all that but with all the things they have going against them I would expect natural selection would have wiped them out by now without human intervention.

[hopefloats]

Thousands of species have become extinct. It is all part of the process of evolution. I also do not give a stuff about pandas, or snow tigers or elephants, come to that. YANBU.

[TeggieCampbeggBlegg]

I quite like elephants and the old matriarchy thing they have going. Also it would be so very useful to have a trunk.

[EffieTheDuck]

The pandas at Edinburgh zoo are only rented.

[TeggieCampbeggBlegg]

Rent A Crap Panda arf. Wonder what sort of deposit thry paid. And if they'll need professional cleaning dhen they go back.

[simplesusan]

Leave the pandas alone!
They are much cuter than those shitty dogs that look like rats and fit in handbags.
In fact pandas are cuter than most,if not all dogs so there.
Plus you don't ever see threads about panda shit covering the playing fields do you?

[GetOeuf]

Lol at this thread and 'there are more pandas In Scotland than Tory MPs.

[GetOeuf]

Killer whales can fuck off as well.

I thought they were all friendly and got on with small boys but they turn out to be spiteful murderous oafs.

I suppose the name killer whale should have given the game away.

[UnChartered]

arf at killer whales' monikers being a dead giveaway

if we're on the case of supposedly cute animals being shit, can i nominate dolphins please

i fucking hate dolphins, i wouldn't serve one in my cafe even if it offered to pay double

[GetOeuf]

Dolphins are horrible. They pick on each other and have nasty fights, like Grange Hill on sea.

And can we murder all magpies whilst we are at it, if only for that godawful ear splitting katakanakakakakaka noise they make all day. I seriously thought I had a load of escaped kookaburras in the garden last summer.

[SadGiantPanda]

'there are more pandas In Scotland than Tory MPs.'

[TeggieCampbeggBlegg]

Osteriches are a bit shit too. What's the point of a bird who can't fly and who's brain is smaller thsn its eye?

[TheRealFellatio]

YANBU. They are total failures on every level Except cuteness, but what use it that? I have often thought this about pandas and I am glad you brought it up.

[SadGiantPanda]

[SadGiantPanda]

Will nobody think of the pandas?

[TheRealFellatio]

What we need is a Room 101 of Rubbish Animals. I vote Hyenas go in as well. they are awful bastards, and ugly too.
