zoos have pandas (Washington DC zoo and Zoo Atlanta). Pandas are my favorite animal. Obviously they normally don’t let visitors close up to animals but it’s my dream to pet a panda just once.

I live in Seattle and, while I don't always agree with PETA, I hate the UW's animal research practices. I don't believe these animals get the quality of care they deserve for the suffering they undergo. If you "humanize" the animal and grow attached, how can you conduct experiments on it? You have to objectify them and they suffer for it.
