Giant Pandas No Longer Endangered, China Says
KHOU11 ^ | July 9, 2021 | Erin McHugh

Chinese officials have announced that giant pandas are no longer endangered after efforts to help drive up their population, according to multiple reports.

Cui Shuhong, head of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said Wednesday that massive conservation efforts have allowed the population size of the pandas to reach more than 1,800, NBC and CNN reported.

"China has established a relatively complete nature reserves system," Cui said, according to CNN. "Large areas of natural ecosystems have been systematically and completely protected, and wildlife habitats have been effectively improved."

The expert added that populations of some other endangered species, like Siberian tigers, Amur leopards and Asian elephants have also been recovering.

In 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red removed giant pandas from its endangered list and listed them as "vulnerable." The Hill reported that China did not agree with that decision at that time.

It would have been ironic if COVID-19 had wiped out the entire Panda population in China. *Maybe* people would have finally gotten made at China.

I trust the Chinese Communists about as far as I can throw Stacey Abrams on her way home from an all you can eat buffet.

Grilled Bear Loin with Red Wine Sauce

By Lorelie Scorzafava

We are all getting those grills going. Nothing tastes better than steak from the grill. Just keep in mind that bear steak needs to be cooked so no pink remains inside. Please be on the side of food safety and use an instant meat thermometer. That does not mean a dried out piece of meat. It just means that you need to grill over medium high heat, flip often and do not pierce the bear steaks. Also letting the meat rest, tented with foil, on a warm serving platter will allow the juices to redistribute through the meat while you make the scrumptious sauce. The sauce is a red wine base, so make sure you get a good bottle of red because you can finish off the bottle in a glass as you enjoy your meal.

Ask someone from New Orleans.

At the zoo you’ll see all the animals’ family names, species, and best recipe

Pandas have done everything in their power to achieve extinction. They don’t naturally eat a very nutritionally dense diet, they’re not good at defending themselves, they’re not interested in breeding, and they are terrible parents, but western science and money has kept them on the earth because they look cuddly.

Conveniently, the Chinese government has declared their population as “no longer endangered” the same month as the 100th anniversary of the communist revolution. No scientist or zoo official would dare correct them.

Even OANN reported it as news. I think that Kung Pao Panda is now on the regular menu in fancy restaurants. Will their meat be available in the Wuhan wet market? Excellent choice when served with Black & White scotch.
