I’m bringing back the panda discourse; fuck those black and white bastards.
Is this because they get loads of conservation money that should go to more genetically viable and ecologically necessary species or are you just, like, a panda hater on general principle?
Mostly the first thing yes, paired with the fact they are ecologically insignificant and them dying off will have no real negative effects on the wider ecosystem.
They’re also the face of this shitty capitalistic system where animals are given funding based on how cute they are rather than their ecological importance.
Umm wtf all animals deserve to live???
wow you really just missed the entire point. You saw a conservation biologist very clearly explain what the point was and it just really flew over your head didn’t it? Amazing.
Congrats on your degree. 👏🏻 🙄
But literally it sounds like you’re saying cute animals don’t deserve funding/human support. The whole panda hate thing doesn’t really support your claim that you agree “all animals deserve to live”. 🤷🏻♀️
Also cute is highly subjective. I think snakes and lizards are adorable but other people think they are gross. So…
Why not “all animals deserve to live club” instead of “panda hate club”. When you approach issues from a negative place its pretty reasonable for people to misunderstand what you mean. 🙃
It’s actually two degrees xoxoxo.
Still not what I was saying or have ever said. Congrats on your reading comprehension! It’s terrible!
Maybe you should actually listen to what conservation scientists like myself are saying instead of spending all your time getting mad about literally nothing.
If you want me to break down what I was actually saying in a more accessible way so you can actually understand it, sure.
But something tells me you actually don’t care and you just want to pick a fight.
At the moment it seems the only one wanting to pick a fight is you. You’ve been nothing but rude even to people who are simply adding to the discussion or weighing in with their thoughts. You’re coming off as rude and ignorant of what others have to say. It’s people like you that baffle me when they put something out there but are only defensive and show nothing but utter complacance when asked to prove themselves or further the conversation.
