    Mei Xiang is a great mom in the past 20 years and she gave birth to a baby in this year but her mental state is really not well after delivery until today. No love is greater than maternal love even just animals.
    Although Mei Xiang is elder but she always does her best to entertain everyone in the Smithsonian's national zoo , doesn't it? I never saw any zookeeper to take special care for her and only stole her child for medical exam when she ate meals. She fears losing her child after she lost Bei Bei. Smithsonian's national zoo often gave used cardboard boxes and baskets dipped in honey for Mei Xiang to lick and no other nutritious food like other zookeepers of other countries give apples, carrots and wowo tou for giant pandas every day.
    In the zoos of other coutries, the panda zookeepers would give the baby panda human care to make mom panda relax and eat delicious food but SNZ never did . Mei Xiang sometimes makes abnormal sounds loudly we all worried about her but SNZ ignored it. Every baby panda depend on mother to survive but humen in SNZ almost not treat Mei Xiang as a human but only a tool for biological research. Please SNZ to give well treatment for giant pandas there. The South Korea is your model to take care of giant pandas if they are 6-star and SNZ will be 1-star that poor standard and not professional at all.

      Mei and her beloved boy were so attached to each other and if SNZ had not been so cruel and greedy ( new cub = cash ) , they could have followed and observed for the Science ( they claim they are a conservation center ) the true relationship btw a Panda Mother and her cub and how a Panda Mother weans naturally the cub and at what age . Er Shun from the Toronto Zoo stayed with her twins until 33 months old .
      Bei Bei is so alone now, and SNZ never allows Mei and Bei to meet again, even through the hollow window. They say falsely that Mei is aggressive to Bei . How come ? Even Tian Tian behaves peacefully with Bei and they are both males. SNZ is shameless .

      First of all, it’s not “only in America”. Any country that has pandas require cages to keep the keepers safe, as pandas are wild animals. Second, their living area is not just the cage. They have large spaces to run around and play in.

      Believe it or not, the only reason why pandas haven’t gone extinct is because of human intervention. They can’t digest their only natural food source, bamboo, which has very very little nutritional value. Zoos have been able to help raise the numbers through breeding programs and raising more and more awareness. The giant panda’s numbers have also increased tons thanks to the recent efforts of zoos.
