Rubbish animals?

With the news that the female Panda in a Zoo isn't pregnant after all, I overheard a conversation on the tube tonight and Pandas don't seem to do much to help themselves survive.  They only mate once a year and usually have only one cub, if by chance they have two, they ignore one so it dies.  The meal of choice is Bamboo and they have to eat loads of it as it isn't very nutritious.  Seems they will eat other things including meat but are too lazy to get it.Are there any other animals more rubbish than Pandas?

The mass production of meat so that it is so cheap that we can afford to throw it away is terrible.  I think we should know where our food comes from and it is worrying when children don't.If you are going to buy it at least eat it.

Moths - if they love the light so much why don't they just come out during the day?!

Top of the food chain and in the animal world, that is all that counts.

I think we are the best and the worst at the same time Phillipa.

Family version of the Panda jokeA panda walks into a bar, sits down and orders a sandwich. He eats, pulls out a gun and shoots the waiter dead. As the panda stands up to go, the bartender shouts, "Hey! Where are you going? You just shot my waiter and you didn't pay for the food."The panda yells back, "Hey, man, I'm a panda. Look it up!"The bartender opens his dictionary to panda: "A tree-climbing mammal of Asian origin, characterized by distinct black and white coloring. Eats shoots and leaves."

That is probably the worst Panda costume ever.How could they not notice it was not one of them?  Probably too busy eating bamboo.

Strangely, yes

Did the keepers look like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m22qg7ezX2Y

I saw an amazing programme on Discovery about China's panda project. The keepers dress in panda costumes and cover themselves in panda piss and poo. Twins are swapped every 2 days so that they both get the same attention from the mother. So yes they do need a lot of help and you can understand why their numbers are dwindling but now they are releasing them back into the wild so with luck they stand a chance.What's more upsetting is that after 17 years , London Zoo managed to mate one of its tigers but sadly the cub drowned in a pool. Sad news

Cats are rubbish ...they sleep 15 hrs a day, crap in other people's gardens and then beg food from them and would sit there purring whilst watching a burglar take all your valuables. And you can only stroke them if they are in the right mood. Rubbish.

Oh, I can, good job on 'sanitising' it for wider consumption Bud.

Speaking of panda's, I've yet to share with you my panda joke...A panda walks into a brothel, does his business and gets up and starts to walk out without paying!!!The lady asks panda what he's doing and as panda is confused, she opens the dictionary to "prostitute" where the description is given.The panda takes the dictionary, flicks to "panda" and shows the lady the description of, "eats shoots and leaves".The lady fainted!!You cannot understand how much I've cleaned this up!!

How are they more rubbish than Pandas please?Foxy is a bit crap as they like to play on busy roads, instead of getting a meal, they will kill everything they can which is a bit stupid, they could kill and eat just one chicken, but no, they slaughter the lot and thus exhaust the food supply.  Maybe that's why they have developed a taste for fried chicken and nappies.Cats, well they are pets normally.Wasps are insects and don't birds eat them?

Bernadette Clover ● 4550d

Wasps.Still remember the cartoon which categorised bees and wasps.The caption under the bees was; Worker, Drone, Queen.The caption under the wasps was; Bastard, Bastard, Bastard.

Nigel Brooks ● 4550d

Foxes!
