[@LaikaLycanthrope]

Not really, bamboo farmers hate them as pests and shoot them on sight - the government looks the other way as long as no Westerners are looking. They actually hate pandas, but use the West's love of them cynically. They were treated as any other bear until Nixon's era. World Wildlife Fund originally took its panda logo _because_ of the outright persecution of them at the time. Don't swallow their government propaganda. Chinese don't worship animals. And all that stuff about them not liking sex? Lies. Anyway, be aware that the government runs breeding farms, where the pandas are artifically inseminated, not for their own sake, but for the sake of having baby pandas to loan to other countries, for to take away should the leader of one of those countries disparage Chinese Communism.
