It's not a strong species," he said."I reckon we should pull the plug. Let them go, with a degree of dignity."Read more: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/artic...I wanted to post the same story from the NY Times but I can't find it now. He also said the tiger will be extinct in 15 years. I don't know if the purpose of his comments were a slap in the back of the head wakeup call, or if he really believes they should be allowed to die, but either way, it is very depressing.When will we value nature more than money??

Jeez not a lot of love on this thread. And why is anyone listening to a BBC wildlife 'expert' who's basically advocatingsocial darwinism for Pandas.It is human beings who have reduced the naturalhabitat for the Giant Panda to the point thatthey have to be reared in zoos to save them.So now that we have destroyed their ecologicalniche that sustained them for millennia they shouldbe allowed to die off with dignity.What a prick this Peckham is.
I don't get it. The DUmmies are such staunch supporters of Darwinism, then adapt or die should be good enough for the animals of whatever type. Now if cows, chickens or pigs become threatened, then there's a problem.
If there was money to be made from panda farming there would be no shortage of them.
I wonder how they taste roasted...
like chicken
That is SO true. Of course they'd be dumbed down over the generations. The chickens and cows we farm raise these downs are downright the stupidist animals ever. Or close.
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
I know some liberals who live in an evolutional cul-de-sac....

Are you serious? You Enviro-nazi's already DO!Just ask the farmers in the San Joaquin valley in California.
Yeah, esspecially the ones that have gone broke. I never did care to much for Sardines and now I like them even less.And todays bible lesson is from the King Obama version of The DUmmie Bible.From the book of Obama, first chapter, first verus."Man shall earn his daily bread from the sweat of someone elses brow."
Yep! It's called DU!
