Panda in China Zoo Bites Student Who Wanted a Hug

BEIJING (AP) -- A college student in southern China was bitten by a panda after he broke into the bear's enclosure hoping to get a hug, state media
and a park employee said Saturday.
The student was visiting Qixing Park with classmates on Friday when he jumped the 6.5-foot (2-meter) -high fence around the panda's habitat, said the
park employee, who refused to give his name.
The park in Guilin, a popular tourist town in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, houses a small zoo and a panda exhibit. It was virtually deserted
when the student scaled the fence surrounding the panda, named Yang Yang, the employee said.
He said the student was bitten in the arms and legs. Two foreign visitors who saw the attack ran to get help from workers at a nearby refreshment
stand, who notified park officials, the employee said.
The student was pale as he was taken away by medics but appeared clear-headed, he said.
''Yang Yang was so cute and I just wanted to cuddle him. I didn't expect he would attack,'' the 20-year-old student, surnamed Liu, said in a local
hospital, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
Liu underwent surgery Friday evening and was out of danger, but will remain in the hospital for several days, Xinhua said.
Yang Yang, who was flown to Guilin last year from Sichuan province, was behaving normally on Saturday and did not seem to suffer any negative
psychological effects, the park employee said.
He said it was not clear whether the facility would add more signs around the enclosure or put more fences up.
''We cannot make it like a prison. We already have signs up warning people not to climb in,'' he said. ''There are no fences along roads but people
know not to cross if there are cars. This is basic knowledge.''
Pandas, which generally have a public image as cute, gentle creatures, are nonetheless wild animals that can be violent when provoked or startled.
Last year, a panda at the Beijing Zoo attacked a teenager, ripping chunks out of his legs, when he jumped a barrier while the bear was being fed.
The same panda was in the news in 2006 when he bit a drunk tourist who broke into his enclosure and tried to hug him while he was asleep.The tourist
retaliated by biting the bear in the back.

Yeah, people tend to forget that they are BEARS! Damn, I don't know if there are other types of bears in China but they are famous for the giant
panda... here's the thing, martial artists developed bear styles of kung fu so if there aren't other types of bears there what bear did they base the
style on?
People are morons.

I would feel bad if it was a little kid who didn't know any better, but it was a damn college student that though the panda looked cuddly.

Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.
