Im talking about the panda of course. wtf!? It just sits there and breeds and eats. Does it even make a noise? This is one that has always puzzled me since childhood. It just doesnt do anything.

I'm actually shocked that you have this opinion. We are worlds apart because I believe that all life is equally important as the other. For example, an Amoeba has as much a right to life as you or I do. Even bacteria, although not animals, have rights to live too.


Try to have a nice day,

Unless the space travellers are the ones from "Independence Day" or "Signs".

what about the sub species of goat that collapses and becomes rigid (sort of like a catatonic fit) when startled? from what I gather, it's supposedly some defence mechanism - appearing dead, but i would have thought it would have just made it easier for any potential predator.

Fainting goats.

Kevster: Do you wash your face? Have you ever used a facial scrub? What do you think of the bacterial minutiae that exist therein? Does their right to life supercede your right to hygiene?

What matter it to an animal whether he is killed in the name of hygiene or sport? He suffers just the same.

Your argument is completely impractical.

However this thread is not intended to be taken seriously, it was not started here, where I know you all enjoy the company of animals and do not like to think of animals as 'pointless' so Im sorry it was moved here.

i think Infront could be voted the most useless mammal of all time!

this is a joke!

Think this thread might now be an example of a bad choice of where to move a thread to.... (no offense mods, you guys are too busy to be expected to find the perfect home for OT type threads like this)

This thread was not meant to suggest that any particular animal did not deserve to exist or should be wiped out, merely to examine people's viewpoint of what animal had the least visible greater purpose to it's existance.

I would agree with that sentiment ...especially since the very first sentence of the original post goes like this:

Firstly, I didnt post this in the Animal forum because theyre all animal lovers and wouldnt attract the same diverse opinion as AH.
I know that God made everything for a reason and wants us to enjoy the earth, and I dont think any animal is worthless. But there are some whose purpose is at best - baffling.

Nope its quite funny tbh.


And while we`re at it--Earwigs--the most pointless animal in the world--all they`re put here for is to frighten the s**t out of those who hate the thought of them taking lodgings in your ear.

Even the name makes me shudder.
"Earwig"!!!!!!Uuuggghhhhh!!!:eek: :eek:

Oh jesus you just brought back a horrible memory...

Years ago, I picked up the house phone... AND AN EARWIG ACTUALLY CAME OUT OF THE PART WHERE YOU PUT YOUR EAR!!!!!! Not a f*cking word of a lie, I nearly lost the plot!!!

I THOUGHT THE NAME WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IRONIC OR SOMETHIN!!!!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: :mad:

Heya, your post made me smile - That's a very hard thing to do

My right to hygiene currently supercedes their right to live. However, it is never on my conscience when I wash my face, chest, and indeed my scrotum that I am destroying thousands of micro-organisms. In what will appear to be a twisted form of logic I still hold these micro-organisms in extremeley high regard. Perhaps, next time when I am washing myself I will feel more remorseful.


Anyway, I'm aware that your thread was moved. It was a bit of a dumb thing to do to move it - I can still take the original joke about the bear though

People, the world would right itself without people at least animals, left to their actual jobs in nature kept the world ticking over before we came along to mess it up.

Pandas...cats? Where did you get that from.

Pandas are cats?

I'm pretty sure I learned in college that they're a kitchen utensil.

Poor little guys, they (apparently) produce the deadliest poison in the world and they have no teeth. They just flutter around bashing into walls and windows.

Giant Pandas belong to the family Ursidae (bears).

WASPS! Irritating little feckers, you just cant enjoy coke or cider in Jack Meades or Fota Island anymore because of them, little feckers have some nasty sting too. Those and Bluebottles, bloody disgusting and irritating little bastards. I honestly dont mind mossies and midges as much.

And of course, people havent exactly been making a good name for ourselves either, war, pollution, all in the name of greed and profiteering (and occasionally for democratic freedom i.e. WW2 and NOT Iraq) :rolleyes:
