Should we allow Pandas to go extinct?

I vote natural selection. Just because they're cute and fuzzy, doesn't mean shit. I don't believe in zoos. I don't believe an animal should be held against its will in a friggin' small, confined habitat or cage. Although, I don't have a problem with domesticated pets, I just don't see the morality or the "help" they're given in these animal prisons. I've been to zoos, and I can't imagine being held in a space like that my entire life, while people come and yell, throw things, and take pictures and observe me every single day. By all means, have rescue shelters, and save the animals from oil spills, etc., but put them out in the wild where they were meant to be. I support the basic rights of animals of course, but I am not an animal rights fanatic. I wouldn't have a problem shooting a deer, if I needed it to survive.

There's a reason why they're going extinct. Nature can't provide for them anymore, or the species themselves are the problem. Creating an artificial environment for them isn't going to solve the problem. What are the odds when you let them out into the wild again, that they are going to become extremely endangered? Either you waste resources keeping them alive, or you let them live their lives, and let nature run its course. 99% of the species that have ever existed on this planet, are now extinct. What makes the panda so special? Free these animals from their cages!!!
