PandaChat#2

Do you know Pandas are one of the top rated animals near to extinction?  These pandas are suffering right now because of the problems we produce and produce and produce.

Pbl#1 – (pbl means problem by the way).

Panda Food!

Their Homes = destroyed.

Bamboo Forests; only grow at high mountains about 500 – 3, 100m high from the ground.   This forests are the best place for the pandas to live, because they are already surrounded by food, high peak mountains prevent enemies from killing the babies and  pandas are much more safer.  But these forests are wiped out fast. 50 % of it is already gone.  The purpose is to have more space for buildings, electricity and all those kind of stuff.  But, IMAGINE; your house right NOW, is taken out of your hands, all your PS3, Xbox, Blackberry, Computer,  Plasma TV, 3d TV, your sweet BEDROOM, your clothes, is TAKEN away from you.  And you have no choice…  the only possible way is to live outside the streets until you move into another available house… would YOU like that?

Pbl#2 – Panda Killed.

Have you ever heard of poachers? If yes, Pandas do get killed because of their fur. Did you know that? I bet you didn't. *sigh* it's a shame isn't it?  Sometimes, they are stolen and sold as pets, but they are treated horribly! 

Like this poor dog. :( 

These Panda Poachers kill pandas straight away, some are really injured or killed in cages, traps or shot.
Do you really want that? It's like loosing another Mao Mao. Imagine, your special someone was taken away from you, by force, no free will.  Would you let them go or would you fight back?
I WOULD.

#How could I help these pandas?

You could help by adopting a panda, or donate for the pandas in this website: http://wwf.panda.org/how_you_can_help/support_wwf/donate/

if not, you could write a letter to a Nature Reserve near you of how to help, or you could contact Walang Nature Reserve - China and ask them you are welcome to help them any time.

The last option you could do, is all up to you.  But let me give you a quote or a suggestion.

#MAKE OUR HOME A BETTER PLACE.

Goodluck!

Let's Have a PandaChat

Let me share a story with you....

In May 12, 2008, at exactly 2: 50 pm in the afternoon, I was watching  a TV series of Takeshi’s Castle when an emergency news came up and stopped my comedy show L.  A news reporter came up, with a serious tone, he apologized for the disruption of our show; in alert mode, He mentioned there was an a BIG ( 7.9 magnitude – Richter scale for any geographical people out there) massive earthquake in China at Sichuan.  At least 88’000 people are killed or missing.  It ruined all the buildings and homes of every human kind.  It was really devastating.  But the story is not over yet.   

At this point, the news reporter starts tearing up and I was really confused why.  But he mumbled,  at the peak mountains of Sichuan,  The Wolong Nature Reserve has lost an amount of pandas and workers who were trying to save their lives.  The centre was completely damaged.  Then, the news reporter showed us a mini clip, it was workers carrying a box… the news reporter sadly said, a nine year old mother panda called Mao Mao, was found crushed by her home; because of the river behind her home, it created a landslide.  Respectfully, the workers buried Mao Mao’s body.  

Everyone bowed their heads as He Changgui (the panda helper of Mao Mao) stood forward, crying, and placed Mao Mao’s favourite food on her grave.  They prayed for her, silently.  From now on, He Changgui promised to himself to take care of her babies and their babies.  He will visit Mao Mao everyday, to offer Mao  Mao her favourite food… 

He and Mao has a strong relationship as He treated Mao as his child.  He will always keep Mao in his heart forever.  As he said “ It’s like you could say something and she would understand you, if you were happy, she was happy too.” “She was my own dear child.”

This story touched me, it made me realise, everyone has their special someone in their hearts, even though if it’s an animal.  They could still be special to you.  There are chances that your special someone might just be taken away from you in a flash, that’s why you enjoy every minute you have with them.  Like He & Mao.

# R.I.P. Mao Mao.

Mao Mao was my true inspiration, that's why I made this blog, as a sign of remembrance for her...
