Panda Voices and In Defense of Animals

Pandas, one of the world's most beloved and iconic animals, have been facing numerous threats to their survival for decades. In recent years, conservation efforts have been made to protect these endangered creatures and ensure their survival for future generations.

Pandas are an integral part of our ecosystem. They are known as a "keystone species," which means they play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of their ecosystem. As herbivores, they help to control the growth of bamboo, their primary food source. By eating bamboo, pandas prevent it from overgrowing and crowding out other plant species, which helps to maintain the biodiversity of their habitats.

Protecting pandas is a moral imperative. These gentle creatures have been around for millions of years and are an irreplaceable part of our planet's natural heritage. It is our responsibility to ensure that they continue to exist and thrive in their natural habitats. By protecting pandas, we demonstrate our commitment to preserving our planet's biodiversity and respecting the rights of all living beings.

Pandas are not just cute and cuddly creatures; they are also essential to the health of their ecosystems, symbols of environmental conservation, sources of economic benefits for local communities, and objects of our moral obligation. Protecting pandas means protecting our planet's natural heritage and securing a better future for all. It is our responsibility to ensure that these amazing creatures live happily and naturally in their natural habitats for generations to come.

In the latest news, pandas LeLe (24-Passed away) and TianTian (25) have both endured artificial insemination (AS), which is the process of sperm into a female's cervix or uterine cavity for the purpose of achieving a pregnancy through in vivo fertilization by means other than sexual intercourse.

Why artificial insemination?

Female pandas are only fertile 24-48 hours per year, according to a Singaporean Zoo. That gives them limited mating time; plus it's very hard for them to even mate.

Pictures online have shown that after TianTian endured artificial insemination, his intestines seemed to be shaken out.

LeLe also passed away weeks after his AS as seen on camera in the Memphis Zoo in Tennessee. His mate, YaYa, seemed to know that he had passed away and started walking around the poles of the panda dayroom.

That is considered a mental illness. YaYa and LeLe, who have been living in the zoo since April 2003, have had many mental and physical issues. LeLe has had bad teeth due to eating giant sticks of bamboo (zookeepers are supposed to break them into pieces), a swollen part of his shoulder, and not a sufficient amount of food.

Online information has led to the fact that the Memphis Zoo is not taking good care of the 2 pandas.

Fortunately, the Panda Diplomacy between China and the USA has ended. YaYa has been sent home on the 28th of April and a frozen LeLe has also been sent with her on a FedEx.

In conclusion, even if pandas go extinct, that's still a natural process of life. Life and Death. Now here in 2023 people are yet forcing pandas and are determined to give them artificial insemination.

Pandas are wild animals. They want to live freely. Not wanting to mate is completely natural. That is just a part of their free life. As long as they are happy, everything is totally fine.

I would like to say thanks to Panda Voices and In Defense of Animals for providing some information and also contributing to this major event.

Also, if you love pandas and animals, please contribute to these funds. They would really appreciate it.
