Yes I made a joke about this the other day, but it's not really a joke. It's true.

Humans only care about good looking animals. There are some exceptions for the truelly devoted. But most don't care about the ugly ones.

sad, but true.

Any animal, when it has aged to its mid-eighties, is not going to be delectable. And considering that Pope only becomes available once every few decades, and there's only one at a time, the price would be prohibitively expensive. That would never make it as a delicacy. They don't even breed, for crying out loud...

And we sometimes look out for animals that are not at all cute, merely cool or fun. Who wouldn't want to protect a rare species of Praying Mantis? They're so neat.

You thinking of the Dennis Leary bit?

Who are you?
I'm an otter. I swim around and do cute little human things with my hands.
Your're free to go... and what about you?
I'm a cow.
Get on the bus!
I'm an animal I have rights.
You're a baseball glove now get on the bus!

I know someone who ate bear meat. It's supposedly tough, greaasy and sorta rancid tasting.

[Japher]

Yeah, bear meat doesn't sound appealing at all.

[Zoid]

On the contrary, bear is quite tender with a pronounced gamey taste. Tastes a bit like moose or deer. Not bad according to a friend of mine. And since panda is just a fancy bear, I reckon it´ll taste something like that, but with a hint of bamboo

Whale meat, OTOH, is very tasty

God, I love Iceland...

what is a gamey taste?

I hear that all the time, but I have no idea what gamey tastes like. So what does it taste like?

[Japher]

It's tough to discribe... Take a beef stick from Hickory Farms, let it sit for a while, give it more of a bite (pepper like) with an after taste of blanness = gamey.

Whale meat

They carry it at my grocery store now!

BTW, where's Laz?

[Japher]

Laz had the day off work due to a power outage, took his wife to lunch........... 'nough said?

[Drake Tungsten]

I guess that's a better way to spend your day than expounding upon your already known hatred for pandas...

No, the "animal rights activists" only are making a big fuss about cute endangered animals (because they're morons). Don't confuse animal rights activists with humans.

Dagnabit, it's NEWS when these things succeed in having sex! Not even carrying the little panda to term, that's even bigger news, or getting a panda to live to maturity, which has never even been done in this frigging country AFAIK, but just getting them to have sex.

Your average drunken prostitute is funnier than a panda, takes far less cash to support, will eat bamboo gladly if you give her enough blow, and can almost always have sex and get it in the right hole. And we aren't dependent on China for those either. Whether you choose to attribute speciation to God or evolution, either one is clearly against these pandas.
