pedal for pandas

Some of the occasional visitors (who have lots of funny to splash about on their holidays) to this branch might be interested in this tour opportunity. There is also one for hiking for orangutans in Borneo. Check it out for yourself.

Its with WWFund which you will discover as soon as you click the link i think.

feel-good scam. and totally unnecessary. pandas are big bid'ness!
chinese government puts plenty of money into saving these pathetic
(but oh-so-cute!) creatures that should have died out ages ago.

consider that zoos pay around $1million annually for the rights to
keep a panda, i don't think your couple of bucks will make a
"difference."

a chinese panda expert says it best: "trying to reintroduce pandas to the wild
is as 'pointless as taking off the pants in order to fart'."

Yeah. What's so magical about the number 770? Why stop there, non-profit?

Gave up believing in non-profits long ago when I saw where OxFam was located in Mexico City.


In search of a more intelligent planet for my next life. If you have a recommendation, let me know.
