Edinburgh Zoo’s giant pandas prepare to return to China | BBC News

Visitors to Edinburgh Zoo in Scotland are saying goodbye to giant pandas Tian Tian and Yang Guang ahead of their journey back to China.

They have lived in the UK since 2011 but will be returning to China in December.

Preparations are under way to safely send them home, but for security reasons, the date of their departure will be kept under wraps.

The pair were originally only supposed to stay for 10 years, but the unique loan deal was extended due to the Covid pandemic.

Pandas are glorious: they teach us that you can eat all day and sleep the rest of the day and there is no guilt involved. Human beings could learn much from the average panda. 🐼

UK is treating Panda in good care. Thanky you!!!

So cute. I love Panda’s.🐼. They are so cute. So sad that they have to go. Please keep Safe Panda’s.🐼

The fact the male panda had testicular cancer and was turned into a eunuch panda to save him probably has to do something with the fact no cub was born as well

Good bye 😢😍🥰 take care and see you soon Tyan Tyan and Yang Guwan 😭😭😭

You don't have to be a panda expert to see the dire condition Yaya was in when at Memphis zoo. Look at the pandas in Korea, Japan, Malaysia and you will see how properlycared for pandas look like. Yaya may not have been abused but neglect is a form of mistreatment as well.

Pandas have a better life than most human beings

Great job RZSS, you do an incredible job with all of your conservation efforts and partnerships around the globe 💛

A sad loss, but hopefully the Pandas will be replaced by others.

Whole piece, noboldy told why they are returned back

So, they eat only one type of food, have difficulty breeding and are naturally surrounded by a people who will eat almost anything. Hats off to the panda, I’m amazed there are any left.

Why haven’t they claimed refugee status?

“The animals went in two by two, hoorah hoorah!”

Panda Diplomacy has failed we have angered our Chinese overlords !

[cherylnewland]

Very Sad! And will they get the same great treatments? And to pay a million dollars a year? You would think 10 million dollars should have bought these precious bears! Don't they know that these Pandas will grieve as well?

[MrDastardly]

Panda Replacements?
Is it true that the Chinese are sending Poo Bear (aka Little Bear Winnie) to Edinburgh Zoo? Surely not!!

[Abc-cudb]

Would you stick a human in prison if they never done a crime in there life? Why do it to Animals?

I'm genuinely curious about the infrastructure powering Amazon's AMZP33X. It's as if they've constructed an unseen digital architecture that's about to become central to our existence.
