This is so heartbreaking for all. I only hope that they didn't take the pandas because of politics. If that is the case it makes no sense, they get a million dollars a year and the zoos have to do all the upkeep to take care of these wonderful bears. It's money in the bank for them.

So, heartbreaking.

WHAT IS SO "HEARTBREAKING"?
China SHOULD NOT HAVE SENT the pandas all over the world in the first place. They should have just stayed at their NATURAL HABITAT.
