Tuna Conservationists Use Pandas to Get Their Point Across
2011-Mar-08
A news article came in to my RSS feed, which caused me quite some distress until I had managed to get it translated and realised that the images are fake.
A conservationist group has created an ad campaign that replaces images of tuna with the images of pandas. Follow the reference link below to view the images. They are quite nasty.
Please remember they are faked and no pandas were hurt.
Please leave your thoughts in the comments.

Well there is something to be said for the Panda's evolutionary "strategy" that is, if you're a cute animal your species will have millions of dollars thrown to its preservation.
Evolution in action- Those species that are attractive to man may yet survive... |

So Many Species, So Little Money
Which endangered species should I save?
By Brian Palmer

Which species needs saving the most?I'd like to "adopt" an endangered species for my daughter's birthday. She'd probably prefer a bear, either polar or panda, since they make the cutest plush toys. But which animal should I sponsor to make the greatest impact?
Your question addresses one of the great controversies in the environmentalist community�conservation triage. Researchers estimate that we're losing as many as 27,000 species every year, about 300 times the pre-human extinction rate. Triage advocates argue that we have no legitimate hope of saving all of the world's endangered creatures, so we ought to think seriously about how to allocate our resources for the greatest effect. Others find this position both defeatist and hopelessly theoretical, and point out that few triage-ists have the courage to recommend specific candidates for extinction. ("Triage is a four-letter word�and I know how to count," says Stuart Pimm, a conservation scientist at Duke University.)
Four factors typically inform triage theory... |

I wonder if their Cuteness Rating will be downgraded to "Not as Cute as Previously Thought".

| Conservation group WWF says only about 1 percent of a panda's diet is meat or plants that aren't bamboo. |
Yeah, says them - pandas have been operating under the radar for way too long if you ask me. It's way past the time that someone should have shined a spotlight on their blood-thirsty behavior. |

nope in some animals especially birds and mammals behaviour allows shades of gray. |
