Weekly Blog 3: Pandas

There is now two new additions to the Panda reserve in Sichuan province! Last week Yo Yo gave birth to twin cute baby Pandas. Bringing this years total number of new baby Pandas to 19, surpassing last year by one little baby. There are roughly around 1,600 Pandas live in the wild today and about 300 that are kept in captivity. Pandas are on the endangered species list because of  loss of habitat, poaching, and their low birth rate. This information is from Yahoo.com.

I think it is great what they are doing with the Pandas. They use artificial insemination to try and raise the birth rate of these beautiful animals and keep them on our planet. I love Pandas they are my favorite kind of bear if I had to choose one. On another note this article kind of made me sick because it brought the thought of poaching to my mind. I'm not one for any kind of hunting, but to kill a animal on the endangered species list just to make money really gets to me. I think it is disgusting people can do that. We all need to do our part in this world to keep it nice for generations to come, and to keep all the wild life we can. So stop having so many babies so we can have room for the creatures, they are more enjoyable anyways. Well most of the time.
