Thais kill pure bear

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Thais kill pure bear

Post by hiway5 »

Possibly too much rot dee in the diet

bbc.com

A popular giant panda has died unexpectedly in a Thai zoo - prompting China to send experts to investigate.

Chuang Chuang had been at the Chiang Mai zoo on loan from China since 2003.

The 19-year old bear was widely popular across Thailand, especially due to repeated efforts by the zoo to get him to mate with his female companion.

His unexplained death on Monday caused uproar on Chinese social media, with many users accusing Thailand of not caring properly for the animal.

Giant pandas, which are native to China, usually live for 25 to 30 years in captivity. They were regarded as endangered, but were reclassified as "vulnerable" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, following an increase in numbers.

China loans the animals to countries around the world as a way of strengthening diplomatic ties.

There's extensive reporting in China about the animals' lives overseas, and Chuang Chuang's early death has received widespread coverage in state media.

Extinction By Traditional Chinese Medicine - An Environmental Disaster

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca ... 5ec13b5bd3
As China’s massive energy and economic development spawns the largest middle class in history, it’s also creating the largest upper and middle class population on the planet. And they are causing another type of environmental disaster – extinction of endangered species through poaching.

An epidemic of poaching is sweeping the world (Nature Conservancy) fueled by the rising rich of China and Asia. Endangered species are being killed at an increasing rate for the sole crime of being the core of bizarre cultural traditions. Caught in this frenzy of nasty rituals are animals like the rhinoceros, which as a species may not be long for this world (Save The Rhino).

Demand for traditional Chinese medicine is killing off the world’s quirkiest animal

China's Panda diplomacy is more than just about making friends and making money.
They are increasing used as a carrot and stick to get countries to bend to their will
- by granting, denying or retracting these leasing deals. (@ a million bucks/year)

If Chinese social media turns foul against the Thais over this death,
i suggest the King skins the beast and posts videos of himself writhing naked all over it, covered in tomato sauce and mayo..

China voicing animal welfare seems a bit ironic to me.

A policeman stops a man in a car with a panda in the front seat.
"Hey, what are you doing with that panda? You should take it to the zoo."
- "Yeah yeah, ok i will" says the man

The following week, the cop sees the man with the panda in the front seat, again.
both of them wearing sunglasses.
So the cop pulls him over. "I thought you were going to take that panda to the zoo!"
- "I did. We had such a good time we're going to the beach this weekend!"
