I think that everyone should get together some money and buy me a panda. I want to name him Franky. either that or I'll name him ty my shoo.
Eh where would 1 buy a panda and why do you want one..
And how does this warrent belonging in the zone news category? Would this benefit the site?

I'm sorry Liam,... I don't have any money. Yes, I know, I suck, LOL. *Hugs.*
*nods* and this goal should be on the main page, as part of the mission objectives of the site. Good luck. :P
that's a smashing idea. it should be on the main page.
maybe we could somehow turn points into money and people could donate their points to you towards your objective, grin
mmm! Panda! Can I share it with you?
dang. then beach baby could fund my panda by herself
we could buy a whole zoo! oh wait, think we might already have one on here ... lol
*thumbs through user list* We have the zoo part covered. hee.
ya know, we could have a "donate your interest to liam's panda appeal" check box on the log in screens, grin
I want to know why those names? I mean, tie my shoe? Is there a special reason for these name choices? I'd donate points for your panda. Let me know where to send my points.

I just think a panda named ty my shoe would be cool. Either that or I guess I could name him or her Meow. yes. a check box to donate to the panda fund. I like.
I think a good place to begin to locate a Panda would be to contact Dobbin, after all he has a manajory with a difference...
who knows where that panda has been
Liam, if I could turn points into money, I would SOOO buy you a panda.
well, I like the name , tie my shoe, kind of has an oriential flair to it.
Oh, yeah, and I like the name Meow. LMAO.
Hmmm, should be spelled Thai Mai Shu. Also consider Won Hung Lho, or perhaps Sum Ting Wong. There's my cheap linguistic joke for the day.
hehehehheheh youll are funny!!! Hey Liam!!! I'll be your panda for the day!!!! hehehehe I've got an oriental flare to me!!!! hahahahaah jk
*sexy*
How about a Panda with a taste for bondage Thai me up..
LIAM why dont you, instead of buying a panda,adopt 1 from the WWF.Right now for £2 a month, you can adopt your very own Panda and recieve updates on his/her life, and possibly save the animal's life. The WWWF urgently need people to sign up and adopt a Bengal Tiger, a Panda, and an Orang U Tan, to save these beautiful creatures from extinction. I am thinking of adopting a tiger as they are disappearing at a frightening rate...
A tiger would be cool.
yeah, until it ripps your heart out after digging its nice claws and teeth into you?
Awwww!!! I want a tiger too!!!!
I want birds!
yeah, until it ripps your heart out after digging its nice "claws and teeth into you?" wow LG. You make the tiger sound sooo cuddly and cute.
hehehehe sooo cute. you could get a baby one though. ya know, one that has never learned to dig its teeth and claws in, just be careful never to let it taste blood though, cause then the need to kill will return! grin
I was being serious man think about it and you could have your Tiger without the danger...
Dude... I wanta kitty. OK that was random. LOL.
then go post in jbear's post more about the kity..... hmm I will start making a fund raiser to buy either cage, for the panda or the tigger..... hmm, oh wait, isn't there a panda for download?
A cage! What's wrong with a huge plot of land say about 20 square miles...with plenty of bamboo...sambar, wild pig and chital deer,snow if it's a siberian tiger ,...and water if its bengali...somwhere for the animal to sleep...and plenty of interesting things to do besides pacing endlessly going out of its mind in abject boredom and frustration!....Sorry I just hate wild animals being stuck in cages..replace them with humans and set the wildlife free!
agreed on so many levels there - there is something not quite right about wild animals being kept in cages. however, some of these animals are endangered and the only way we can save them, and also bring their plight to the attention of the generally ignorant public, is to keep them in zoos and similar such establishments. Personally I wish that zoos did not have to exist though ... the best zoo I ever went to was in Jersey .. if you've ever heard of Gerald Durrel - he founded the jersey wildlife trust and the zoo was started by him, it was one of the nicest zoos I've ever been to and Durrel is one of my all time favourite people.
some zoos are crap. like the lincoln park zoo. check out news.google.com and search for lincoln park zoo. it's fun
Liam you never told us why you want specifically a panda? I mean a Koala is cuddlier, a Tiger is sexier, and a Orang U Tan is the closest you can get in having a girlfriend, so why a panda??? LOL Star
hehehe why not
Gerald Durrell yes I recall your man standing watching a gorgeous Siberian Tiger been beaten into submission by a very brave and "knowledgeable" trainer, and what did GD do about this tragic situation, feck all! I know what I would have done! ...
I'd go for the tiger. They've got more spunk than a panda. And if you want to see a weird zoo go to Hawaii. They have a cow as one of the main attractions.
Ooh. I was just rereading Zoo in my Luggage the other day. That's the book all about collecting for, and setting-up, the Jersey zoo. Forgotten the name of the zoo, but there's some gorgeous stjories in there... Early conservational naturalism was such a tough one. There just wasn't the technology, knowledge or funding to look after his animals as well as he would have wanted to, but they did the best that they could, and look what's grown out of it!
The best zoo is Howletts run by the son of John Aspinall who died of cancer a few years back..that zoo is exemplary the animals are, if anything, spoiled and looked after with more care, kindness, understanding and consideration, than the residents of many care homes....I really admire the work of John Aspinall and his son,their philosphy is simple. "The animals are not on show, they are not here to provide entertainment, they are here due to hunting, habit loss and persecution by people"
yeah, sorry bout that. well even the little ones are vicious.
I'm not familiar with Howletts, but it sounds like what a modern zoo should be. The days of zoos being peoples' only opportunity to see exotic animals are long gone, so I think the keeping of them for entertainment is not only cruel, but obscelete. Oh, and to whoever it was who said a koala was a cuddlier alternative as a pet? Think again. They're vicious little buggers and not at all prone to domestication. As cute as anything.... from a distance.
I just happened to be surfing my tv a couple of nights ago and I came upon the Atlanta Zoo. Apprently the Chinese govt. and the zoo director had been working for 10 years in the hopes of bringing two giant pands from China to this U.S. zoo. An area, almost 2 acres in size was prepared in less than 9 months time when an o.k. was finally reached to house these two pandas. I beleive it was mentioned that there are only 15000 pandas left.... Though it is rare for pandas to breed in captivity it is the hope that this male and female panda will come to produce offspring. Also mentioned were how local persons grow the bambo and donate it to the zoo so as to provide for the pandas ever demand for this is their food source in particular.
...I am sorry, the number above should have been quoted as 1500 ... I think?? .... sorry for not hearing it right...
um, I thought this topic was now zone BBS suggestions. we're making up our own rules now are we?
