He is so Cute.....Oh Dear G-D He is Eating My Legs!!

  If anyone has read CNN.com this morning there is a story about Beijing Zoo's own Gu Gu the Panda attacking yet his third victim.  Honestly, I do not blame the panda at all.  The first two victims are what I like to use as examples of social darwinism. The first attack occurred when a 15 year old climbed into Gu Gu's pen to "get a closer look."  Now if this was a toddler, or even a child 10 years old, then I could maybe understand how the panda was only seen as a cute and cuddly teddy bear urging their presence for a long needed hug.  However, this was not the case. The second attack came when a drunken tourist decided he wanted to give the panda a hug. No comment needed on this brilliant move.  The final attack, of which the article is reporting, came when a father actually just fell in while trying to grab a toy that his young son had been tossing back and forth with him. The toy..........wait for the irony..........a stuffed panda.  Like I said, I don't blame the panda as apparently the Beijing Zoo needs to do something more than a five foot barrier to keep people out. Maybe even put some security guards in the area.  The most amazing thing about all of this was how the father reacted once he fell in the pen. Since Panda's are considered a national treasure and icon for the country, he didn't want to disgrace himself by hitting Gu Gu or fighting his way out of its clutch. Instead he just sat there and watched as the panda started eating one leg..........then the other.......all the way until zoo authorities used tools to open its jaws and free the poor man.  Now that's some national pride.
