@tiger: You may be right, but don't give up.
@dazzer: I think I've heard of this turkey, whose destiny doesn't concern me at the moment. However, I am concerned about the widespread, organized and impersonal murder of domestic pigs for food and profit - what to do? Campaigns by vegetarians and a few animal lovers to glorify the pig don't seem to help much; opposition by Jews and Muslims and brahmins and some, but not all, Buddhists works better, at least for those who are already on board these identities for other reasons...I think nonreligious efforts get smothered by the pig raisers' wealthy and powerful lobby, and by the wonderful taste of bacon acquired by so many, thanks to their parents.
Perhaps we need more sentimental appeals to kids and sentimentalists generally to save the pigs, or more articles about the great intelligence of pigs vs. the obvious stupidity of pandas. Of course extinction is not something likely to happen to domestic pigs, except as a possible second-hand result of other human activities, but then I doubt whether those on the point of being murdered are often concerned with the preservation of their species.
@tiger: Yup - it's a PR-advertising-propaganda tactic, very common - concrete results vary: protecting habitats okay, but connecting it all with flags or politicians or imaginary love or kindness or whatever is dubious.
Hard to get people to think things through on their own merits, hence this tactic.
@Liumingke: I'll bet you don't - I'll bet you just like images and stories about them.
But you're right - a great number of people think they love pandas...how did this happen?.
@vicar: Appreciate your comment, but I think what's behind this involves more than pandas, and that much of it is good environmental thinking, as long as they don't screw over the 170,000. The panda thing is, as always, not primarily about pandas, but about pandas-as-symbol - nobody is encouraged to care so much about other endangered species or mistreated animals. Unfortunately, many people cannot seem to think beyond things like flags (or pandas or bald eagles or whatever) - probably has to do with the nature of our educational systems.
Note that I have nothing against either pandas or bald eagles, although I do think that both people and animals (neither of which have to be cuddly) should be more important than flags.

发布者@JanJal: OK, but the important thing here is to give the kids of the poor an even break, which is hard to do when the kids of the rich have...(anybody can complete this sentence).
Not so different from the global situation, either as a whole or when cut up nationally..
