  1. CHINA WANTS TAIWAN BACK.

  2. Heres an idea, stop caging wild animals. When you have to medicate animals in zoos with xanax/antidepressants, its a sure fire sign that they shouldnt be there. These animals are innocent, but are caged like prisoners. Its sick. Stop breeding wild animals so you can lock them in cages for your personal enjoyment!

  3. I do hope the Giant Pandas will be comfortable in their homeland. The Giant Pandas are universally loved, as we should all love our neighbors, as ourselves, and the gift that these fuzzy ambassadors are to everyone🐼🖤thank you for sharing them with us for 25 years

  4. ABC, some of your audio was cut out. Like the footage of the zoo official at 4:14 being interviewed, but there's no audio.

  5. Unfortunately unlike what the anchor was trying to say, Yaya and Lele was indeed mistreated and abused by the Memphis zoo. It’s been a few months now after she was returned to the Beijing Zoo, and Yaya looks significantly better and much more healthy than she used to be at the Memphis zoo. She is no longer skinny. “Skin conditions” that was used as an excuse by the Memphis zoo can’t explain that. Sadly Lele wasn’t able to wait till the day come and had died from all the abuses at the Memphis zoo. Memphis zoo should never get another panda! They don’t deserve those magnificent creatures. In comparison, the Smithsonian zoo has done a great job at keeping the pandas and I’m sad the Tian family is leaving😢. I hope they will adjust well in China.

  6. Total BS. It is political. We have had pandas in the US for over 50 years and now all have to go back by 2024. It is so sad this is happening

  7. My chinese friend told me that american zoo mistreated the panda

  8. Like f**king HELL it's not political.
