All pandas in U.S. zoos are heading back to China, threatening five decades of "Panda Diplomacy"

[@TamaraBeinlich]

The panda's are not going because of tensions with China. It's because of the horrific condition of YaYa and LeLe pandas at the Memphis Zoo! For a full year people kept begging the Zoo to do something about both panda's skin condition and starvation! Memphis was actually asking people to bring their bamboo to the zoo to feed them! They wanted free bamboo instead of paying to get the right bamboo in from China!. Poor LeLe lost his life just weeks before he was to return to China. We all saw him die on camera and yet the zoo took nearly a hour to check on him even though people were calling them LeLe had a seizure, went down and was not getting up. China sent people to Memphis to prepare YaYa's move to China and brought bamboo. Today YaYa's skin condition has cleared up, she has gained weight and looks great! Memphis claimed they couldn't do anything about the condition. So don't blame Biden for some made up tension with China. Blame Memphis Zoo for their neglect and abuse and death of LeLe and YaYa's near death from incompetence.

@@vaderladyl I don’t think ”bitter” is right, more like “jaded.” Everyone in my group felt the same. There were hot, crying children and terse ushers who constantly warned about penalties for photographing or even stopping in the line to look. You had to keep moving in a constant stream to allow everyone to see them in a tiny enclosure as they clung to artificial trees. Certainly didn’t expect them to perform or anything, but the one on display looked terribly forlorn. It was just sad. But having seen them in person and (much more and for longer) on video, I can tell you that video is far better. Admittedly, this was at least thirty years ago when there were far fewer of them. The viewing experience in recent years probably far outshines what I experienced.

Although not all American zoos are as evil as the Memphis Zoo (we also saw many kind Americans in the Yaya incident helping to rescue Yaya so that Yaya can return to China smoothly, and we Chinese are grateful that these kind ordinary Americans can voice justice), I still firmly believe that sending pandas to the United States is a crime and shame that the Chinese government cannot erase, and I hope that our Chinese government will listen to the voice of the Chinese people and stop sending pandas to the United States after the Yaya incident is exposed. Animals should not be sacrificed for the political interests of humans, they are equal creatures on the earth like humans, they need the respect and love of humans, and they deserve careful protection in their own homeland. After all, we only have one Earth, and we should protect the Earth, not go around fighting wars and destroying the Earth like the evil U.S. government.

[@Quagthistle]

In order to display pandas in a zoo, the zoo must agree to pay $1 million per year to "rent" the pandas and send all babies born in said zoo back to China. Furthermore, China recalled the giant pandas from San Diego Zoo before the Memphis incident, back during the trade war under Trump (in April of 2019). After a panda died in Memphis earlier this year, their other panda was recalled to China. Now, the pandas in Atlanta and DC are being recalled, as well. It's probably related to tensions between the two nations, but it could also have something to do with the costs to zoos who's funding was likely hit hard during the pandemic. As much as I adore giant pandas, I'd rather see them in zoos under better contracts. The ones currently in use drain funds away from caring for animals the zoos can own. As cute as giant pandas are, they shouldn't be a proverbial cash cow or "carrot and stick". I just hope they continue to be cared for in China despite the economic issues looming worldwide.

[@TamaraBeinlich]

Not quite right. We been fighting for YaYa and LeLe for nearly 2 years. We watched them on live streaming suffering with skin conditions and starvation. Even singer Billie Ilsh was begging for China to come get them. China finally decided to come get them Feb/Mar this year but 2 weeks before they were to come LeLe stroked out and died. In days China's vets were here. YaYa has no skin condition any more and has gained a ton of weight. Many of the pandas that recently returned the lease was not up.

@@MaspetsMemphis Zoo shows you that Ya Ya and Le Le were very malnourished and uncared for. As soon as Ya Ya went back to China, her conditions have improved a lot and her skin and fur look a lot better than it did when she was here in the USA..

[@ANPC-pi9vu]

It's stupid to pay the CCP to rent pandas from them anyhow. There's plenty of other endangered species that those resources could be put towards saving.

The name FedEx panda express should've been highlighted more in this segment lol

Okay but if they were born on American soil, that makes them American Citizens 💯👀

[@sonicburn90]

it better for pandas to go back to china for better care. We seen what happened earlier in Tenn.

[@writerconsidered]

I love the self centered entitlement the US feels over Pandas. Its just another animal get over it. And quite frankly should be wild.

[@avae5343]

The Chinese are trying to repopulate the species in the wild but it’s not easy. They’ve figured out how to breed them in captivity but the last one they sent into the wild was killed by a wild panda.

[@ANPC-pi9vu]

There's hardly any habitat left and the polution is bad. How do you expect them to return to the wild? What a joke.

@@avae5343all I know is that there are videos of rare earth metal runoff being dumped into rivers all over China. I also know that over 90% of Chinas fresh water is unusable and polluted.

Yes, the lease signed between two countries. Normally it’s about 10-15 years long.

[@zacharyholzworth7442]

I am confused why the pandas have to be sent back? Even the baby one born here. Like the panda agreement thing gives China the right to take the pandas back?

[@vaderladyl]

They were loaned, not gifted. They can call them back whenever they want to.

[@cittiavaticano]

the only panda that im aware of that doesnt 'belong' to the communists is the one in mexico city

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

Wow. The Chinese are not messing around. I had know idea they ceased sending Pandas and now they are retrieving all their pandas from the states. Not good news.

[@tl1533]

Send them to your back yard. Oh, you don't have a yard. Now you can't make any money from Panda. I hope Xi will pass the law to tax you to make up the money your gov have been making from "loaning" the Pandas.
