    I think panda is probably inedible like other bears as they have high fat content and i think are quite irony plus its endangered, so quite hard to get hold of youd probably have to pay a couple of grand for a panda burger

    They are bad tasting for sure. There was a National Geographic story on the giant panda, and in it there was a farmer who killed a ginat panda and thought that it would make a good meal. It tasted awful so he gave the meat to his dog to eat. That was way back when the Cultural Revolution was not yet quite completely over and few people have the luxury of eating meat regularly. The farmer, despite killing a panda, was not punished.

    Since then, the Chinese government made it a death penalty to kill a giant panda. The death penalty is why nobody eats giant pandas. More recently, the penalty for killing a giant panda has been reduced to 25 years in prison. That is still too harsh a punishment for eating something that does not taste good. Therefore, nobody eats pandas.

    The same reason why you don't eat a puppy dog. They're cute. No one cares about cows being killed 'cause most people think they smell.

    Although to be fair a huge part of it is the fact they're endangered, and cannot be easily bred in captivity. You'd have to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on their enclosure, and more on incubation and food. It's too expensive.

    They are an endangered species. If everyone starts eating them they might become extinct.

    Because they eat the bamboo that otherwise would grow out of control and grow up through people's floorboards and impale them in their sleep.
