Are u serious or are u just trying to wind up nature loving types? If you are, you've succeeded. Pandas, tigers etc were getting on fine before humans came along. They are endangered now because their habitats are being destroyed by people. In my opinion, humanity has a responsibility to protect species that we have driven to the brink of extinction. That's the reason why WWF and similar organisations are trying to protect pandas. Mind you, it's debatable whether it's OK to spend a lot of money, time and effort saving pandas while about 30,000 children are dying every day from easily preventable diseases. I think this is my most serious post on this forum so far, just in case you were wonderingMr Hyde wrote:Didn't see it but it sounds like a shit programme.
Should of course try and save all animals from extinsion and might sound like a right cnut here but isnt it just the way of the world that species that arn't as well adapted die out? - Evolution and natural selection isnt it.
The Panda as an example (and WWF logo) seems like a stupid animal that has gone down an evolutionary dead end- they dont breed and only eat one specific type of food that their stomachs are not even adapted to digest well, they cant adapt to any change. - surely they deserve to die out and its just humans being sentimental to spend any effort in saving them.
90% of all animals that had ever lived on Earth became extinct (the vast majority before humans were ever around). If its a well adapted animal then it will deal with humans and probably live on long after we are all gone.
