I'm going to withhold judgement until I see a picture of the dog.

Alright so CFoD brought up Pandas in another thread but I think it goes here.  So a few weeks ago I saw something that said that all the Pandas in the world are owned by China.  Any Panda that is outside of China(Zoos, pets, circus, etc) is being loaned to that country for a set period of time by China.

Anyways I thought that was interesting, so I told ShellShock and another buddy who doesn't post here about it.  You would have thought that I threw a bible in a bonfire by their reaction to this news.  We had a long argument about it but never could change each others mind.  What do you guys think?  All Pandas owned by China or not and why?

yes, all pandas are owned by china.  and there aren't any pet or circus pandas, except maybe putin's.

it's not all that uncommon.  i believe australia also asserts ownership over some (maybe most, maybe all, dunno) native australian animals kept in zoos.  pretty much all of the native australian animals you see sold all over the place as pets are the descendants of illegally smuggled animals.  technically, they are illegal as well.

what if some native species escapes and naturally finds its way into the USA? I don't think china could say anything then. maybe those pandas should swim for it.

Pandas are on my list of animals that i don't think are worth "conserving"  Sure they are cute but they are terrible maladjusted to living in the world.  They only eat bamboo, a woody stalk lacking many nutrients, and i mean ONLY eat that... hand one a carrot and its like WTF?.  I think if they weren't cute and looked like children (large eyes, furry, ok maybe not children but cutesy) and the chinese haven't been whoring them out for centuries they would have died out a long time ago.

actually you're wrong for the wrong reasons.  pandas are worth conserving, but not for traditional reasons.  i have a vest made from panda pelts which i harvested off of pandas illegally in a chinese forest.  might be the warmest vest i own.  should grow panda farms similar to how we have pig farms in north carolina and outfit the world in warm panda vests.
