Pandas From China (EDM139)

Pandas From China

EDM number 139 in 2008-09, proposed by Mike Hancock on 04/12/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Animal welfare and Asia.

That this House expresses its concern at the proposal to bring giant pandas from China to London, Edinburgh and Colchester zoos; considers that there are serious animal welfare problems attached to the keeping of giant pandas in zoos; notes that captive breeding of giant pandas has resulted in no successful reintroduction to the wild; believes that the best way to conserve the giant panda population is to support in situ projects such as panda reserves and habitat conservation; and requests the Scottish and UK governments not to become involved in using animals in the course of diplomatic exchange.

This motion has been signed by a total of 35 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
