Memphis Zoo's glorification of panda MISTREATMENT

This is our reply to Memphis Zoo's press conference where they try to associate YaYa's sickness look to genetics. (www.kait8.com/2021/08/23/they...)
In this video, we will show you their lies and solid proof that YaYa isn't "genetically special" that results in her illness look; but the ongoing and continued mistreatments from the zoo. She is not "naturally" small and her coat is not "naturally bad" but a skin disease.

I was there today, and I'm not even sure if its the same panda I saw. The poor thing was laid out on its back with no other creature in sight, surrounded by uneaten bamboo shoots and several days worth of feces. He/she was skinny and its butthole skin was dragged out and hanging off like in the video. IDK what the fuck that's all about, but I digress. There was a very apprehensive looking worker back there splitting up bamboo for the passed out panda, he looked scared that people were even observing him in the exhibit, lest he gets painted as responsible for the state of the panda. People aren't even coming to see this panda, please let it go free or something. Most of the population are there to twerk at the monkey exhibit and play in the water that isn't supposed to be played in, imagine that being the last thing you see as an animal dying in captivity.

The zoo treated the panda badly and keep giving them unhealthy and bad bamboo. Not only that the zoo keeper also put the two panda in all small space that they can’t walk that much. 2023.March.1 乐乐(LeLe) has died. He can’t make it back to his own country. It was so sad that I cried when I hear it. And I am truly disappointed for those who are not taking responsibility to take care of these two poor panda.

Not providing edible bamboo even if the pandas bang their head and beg for them. Embezzle all the donations of bamboo money. Electrifying pandas to get sperms. The living condition is hellhole and both pandas suffered from long time starvation and multiple skin diseases. Draw blood with big needles often enough that the panda shows the shoulder for blood drawing whenever prompted as a reflex. Such atrocity is performed on a daily basis yet this zoo keeper has the audacity to just say it out loud w/o a shame. That zoo keeper is a demon walking in bright daylight. For the people who don't understand, not old pandas are supposed to be like this. Check the cam of Chengdu Panda center. Or anywhere else hosting pandas. Also monitoring weight doesn't mean anything. Lab rats weight are also monitored. Americans are treating pandas like lab rats. Says a lot of about Americans and how you will be if you fall into the hands of them.

Here is the full story about yaya and lele So, America have wanted a panda for quite a while and finally at 2003 they got YaYa and LeLe, Yaya and Lele was very healthy and chubby at the first few year at memphis zoo. Then yaya got pregnant at 2007 january, memphis zoo was very happy and excited and treated yaya pretty good. But then they found out Yaya miscarried her baby, and because of that america needs to pay a lot of money, and I think they weren’t happy about that and they started treating Yaya and Lele unfairly. We all know panda's likes to eat bamboo’s and fruits right? Memphis zoo do give them bamboos but they are not fresh at all! they sold all the fresh bamboo to canada and Yaya and Lele only have dried and thin bamboo! they actually weren’t even edible! An average panda eats up to 26-84 pounds of bamboo per day, but memphis zoo only give about 24 pounds of bad, thin bamboo for both Yaya and Lele. That caused Yaya and Lele being skinny and having health issues, panda is not suppose to look like that! Other pandas gets treats like apples and grapes but Yaya and Lele only get about 2-4 piece of grape a week or month, they have never had 1 single bite of an apple. Because of that some zoo keepers also mistreat them, they never play with them, or hug them! If you see the Memphis zoo live camera some zoo keepers even kick Yaya and Lele now and before. Some of us know Yaya and Lele have an outside yard but I have never seen them out there! Do you want to know why? because Yaya and Lele is locked in that small room and is only let out twice! And that caused Yaya and Lele to have mental problems and stress problems and is known to be called Zoochosis, they bang their head up and down for hours, walk in circles continuously, that is not how a normal panda should behave! Yaya and Lele apear lonely, skinny, stressed, and dirty. Yaya and Lele have SO many sicknesses and diseases and Infection we could lost count! Some people might say how do zookeepers mistreat them? Well, there is a real time where is halloween and the memphis zoo is suppose to give each animal a pumpkin as an reward, they gave all the animals a slice of pumpkin, but guess what? They did not give Yaya and Lele one, Yaya and Lele had to watch other animals eating that delicious slice of pumpkin..., if you all check the panda at Japan, treated SO well, they even collected XiangXiangs poop. And also russia, we know russia is not in a good place right now but we can't deny that they treat our panda well, Yuan Run was 200 pound when he was sent to russia, but now he is 240 pounds, we all know a panda should weigh about 120-250 pounds, but yaya and lele only weighs about 80 pounds. Also the Korean panda Fubao, the zookeeper treated Fubao as his own grandson, just about 2 years he made over 60 toys for fubao, and even taught him chinese because he was scared fubao dont know chinese. And the rest of the pandas is living their best lives out there. We also should not for get the other American Panda Meixiang, i dont know much about MeiXiang but I know she is mistreated, and she don't even get bamboos sometimes, they feed her ice. Yes i know, Ice. MeiXiang even had to eat ice at winter. Now Lele is gone...China have the right to get Leles body back, it is the law to get Lele back, but instead of returning Lele, they turned Lele into a taxidermist and is put into a museum... OUTRAGED THAT MEMPHIS ZOO STILL WANTS 2 MORE HEALTHIER AND YOUNGER PANDAS, HUH, AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO LELE AND YAYA, YOU WISH YOU CAN! Thankyou for taking your time reading this, I teared up even writing this knowing how Yaya and Lele and Meixiang is treated... But Yaya is going to come back hopefully next month! We will be so happy! Welcome come Yaya and Lele! Thankyou so much for the supports! Investors is already helping yaya so no need to worry!

@@professorpick Definitely, I have gotten all this information from the zookeepers at memphis zoo, and the other countries. So please stop being rude and sarcastic and carry on with your life. Thank you for understanding. Also, my Aunt use to be a zookeeper at memphis zoo so she definitely knew everything so don't comment without thinking. You are just disrespecting all the pandas right now.

This is inhumane! Animal abuse is not right! Please help the innocent panda

[@candicewong8134]

Perhaps because of political factors, different positions, and different nationalities, most of you do not believe the facts we have stated, and even misunderstand that we are troublemakers. You can watch this video. Before Lele died a year ago, Some experts have reported on their physical condition, and the truth is about to come out

[@Luisapon88]

Memphis zoo is telling lies, no panda would become this way, you simply have been mistreating Ya- Ya !

[@rongxin64]

never never never send any panda to US！

[@kate-ot5lv]

I agree and I'm American! I LOVE pandas!

[@redhongkong]

i dont think they cleaned the room very often. its definately some kind of skin disease. or it could be something similiar to covid infection which cause skin rash just like ppl with long covid.

Tis zoo is so mistreating these 2 pandas! So obvious!!! Lying to their teeths!

I didn’t see this until now or I would go sign the petition. I don’t know why there are not a lot of US media coverage on this. 😤

Is there any petition to stop giving another pair of pandas to Memphis Zoo?

It’s a heartbreaking to see yaya looking like this. Lele has dead in Memphis. What is kind of human being working in Memphis!! Disgusting!! Where all the animal activists are in there?

網主您好~~雖然將您的影片寄至不同網站,但目前沒有明顯成效... 由於疫情和中美局勢的關係,雖想儘快讓丫丫樂樂回到中國大陸,卻沒有正確的訴求管道,因此可以的話,想先讓他們能夠吃飽. 不知您是否還有機會到孟斐斯動物園呢?如果以個人捐款的方式,託您偶爾將食物帶給丫丫或樂樂,不知可行嗎? 熊貓每天需要很多食物,但除了竹子之外,他們也能吃南瓜蘋果胡蘿蔔等.他們需要的是一天一大簍的水果蔬菜,而不是像孟斐斯動物園那樣,幾天餵食少量. 如果您覺得可以,請給予回覆,非常感謝!!

Dear, Please safe panda Ya Ya from Memphis zoo and return her to home in order to get medical health care and a good and quality food. It should be late if postpone their departure. If Memphis Zoo continue to treat her on the same way as Le Le it should be ensured her death! I hope that you maximum engage to safe her.Thanks in advance!

Pandas are very special and precious animals. They should not be treated like wild animals. It has been a long time since I have encountered ugly pandas, which proves that you have not taken care of them carefully!

[@air_dragonclash1576]

I cried so hard seeing how bad shape YaYa and LeLe turned out under the Americans' care. At this age, their teeth is not that tough, how could those idiots give them hard bamboos. What nutrition in it and how could they digest. Looked at YaYa's teeth, she probably in pain chewing on the hard bamboos. They should be feed with fresh bamboo shoots, bamboo leaves, fruits and vegetable. They need sun light and bath and clean. Look at the disease on YaYa's skin, we can tell the staffs never gave her a bath. We looked at the pandas in Russia and Korea zoos, they have play ground to run, climb, bath, and healthy nutrition to keep them healthy. Le Le die in Memphis zoo and now we don't know YaYa can make it home to China. The American zoo abused and neglected the pandas. China should not send them here anymore. Recently Le Le Died and yet no one responsible for their suffering in America for 20 years. The zoo lied about their situation. Just compare them with those in other countries. We can tell. There are more in Washington zoo too. She gave birth and locked up in a small cage, which she can't move around. Her baby cried for milk, but she didn't have enough milk for her baby. Why, the zoo staff does not feed her with anything nutrition or not enough.

There were endless tears shedding for precious Ya Ya and Le Le last year when the whole world discovered a pair of pandas that was on loan from China Le Le and Ya Ya’s life at MEMPHIS ZOO, USA was a living hell! The shameful years of covered up by those despicable zoo keepers all the way up to the top people at MEMPHIS ZOO, USA! Precious Ya Ya and her mate Le Le was endured years of foods deprivation, abuses, lack of medical cares and horrible neglect! An absolute heartbreaking that help came too late for precious Le Le, he die at MEMPHIS ZOO HELL HOLE, USA of a years long of abuses, negligent, foods deprivation lack of medical cares! Precious Ya Ya was save in a nick of time! She was barely survived! When China learned of the horrible negligent. China immediately took custody of Ya Ya! Her looks then was heartbreaking! Endless tears for unfortunate Le Le and Ya Ya’s conditions! The despicable covered up! The horrible abuses and years of negligent on these precious pandas made us wonder how could any human being could have the capability to watch this precious panda suffering and deteriorating days after days! And covered it up? Only one with such a cold hearted and possessed by evil! Above is precious Ya Ya photos from the day she got rescued from MEMPHIS ZOO HELL HOLE to recently! Precious Ya Ya has been making a great recovery! It was a miracle that she made it through hell and survive! The unimaginable psychological suffering of precious Ya Ya! Will she ever recover from that?
