Listen Up, Pandas, You Need to Fight
Scientists in China may use a police dog to teach pandas to fight. This after the first artificially-bred panda released into the wild was apparently killed after a battle with other animals, reports Reuters. The Wolong Giant Panda Breeding Centre plans to have four pandas live with a specially trained police dog or other animals. The pandas would learn how to protect themselves by observing the dog. Five-year-old Xiang Xiang, the world's first artificially bred panda released into the wild, was found dead in the snow early this year after less than 12 months of freedom… Hmm, can we train them to attack bad people too?

"Hmm, can we train them to attack bad people too?"
Yes. I've long been a supporter of our right to arm bears.
Since pandas are back to being classified in Ursidae (i.e. bears), I think the NRA should equip them with fully automatic weapons with armor piercing bullets. If they hit a few good guys while defending themselves, we'll just chalk it up to collateral damage.
You are good people :)

but pandas can't tell the difference between a good guy, and a bad man. Pandas are to slow as a matter of fact. I like the idea of training the panda to fight, I just don't think pandas, and fighting strategies don't match. All pandas need to know is how to guard their young, and themselves.
