    Well aren’t you just a big ol’ bucket of sunshine.

    Gorillas are omnivores.

    No. They are preferential herbivores.

    Pandas are ex-carnivores who’ve transitioned to a specialized herbivore diet over millions of years blah blah blah

    Okay?

    Additionally, you realize bamboo has a shit ton of protein and carbohydrate

    I do. Do you realize you’re contradicting yourself left and right?

    Pandas digestive system and gut microbiome still resemble carnivores, they’re not typical herbivores.

    They still have bear intestines yes, but their microbiota is actually highly specialized. Nature sure is amazing.

    And PANDAS DO NOT HAVE HANDS, […], they have specialized paws to grip and eat bamboo, not hands.

    Now you’re just being pedantic. And loud. Give the guy some credit, he’s holding the hell out of that bamboo.

      Go tell Pandas to stop occasionally & opportunistically snacking on small animals. You seem to love pushing your veganism, so why don’t you go do that to the pandas?
      Not a single thing I said was contradictory.
      Do you even know what happens when a true herbivore eats meat? It leads to digestive problems like Peritonitis, organ damage, severe diarrhea and vomiting and malnutrition over time, their digestive systems are adapted for breaking down plant matter, not animal flesh. Herbivores lack the enzymes and acidic stomach environment needed to properly digest meat; Pandas as already shown don’t have this issue.
      I’m thoroughly convinced you slept through life science. It’s a waste of time talking to you.
      Just as you shown me; the take away I’ve learned is that Vegans argue the same way that fucking flat earthers argue and that’s honestly sad.
