I once saw on tv a USA forest ranger speaking and he was telling people about the bears etc and such and he told of one camper who said, when do they let them out? referring to the wild animals( at a national park!) then he was shocked at the rangers answer and said, you mean you JUST LET THEM RUN AROUND LOOSE?!! LOL good grief, eh?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank good the list is keeping the panda alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, he is holding the cat and petting it and talking about how kind, peaceful and loving the cat is, then the cat gets agitated and tries to jump out of his arms. He holds on to the cat, so the claws come out. The cat is screeching and meowing and "boxing" the worker. It leaps out of his arms and disappears off screen. But, this kind, peaceful loving kitty's reign of terror was just beginning. It comes after the guy again and climbs up his legs and starts scratching him in the groin, arms, torso, legs etc. By the time it was all over, I think the guy had to have dozens of stitches and band-aids. I felt sorry for the guy, but had to laugh at the irony. I know this isn't about the panda, but the panda story does remind me of a movie called "Failure to Launch," where the world's most peaceful animals fiercely attack the main character. He was attacked by a chipmunk, dolphin and some little lizard. It made for great comedy. I agree, if we invade a wild animal's territory, especially if it is enclosed and the animal feels trapped, we can't blame the animal for whatever actions it takes to protect itself and family. We should be smart enough to stay away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
