As I have had severe food related allergic reaction 9twice several years apart) which was diagnosed as 'anaphylaxis', this warning is very timely, although I am certain to be asked about my allergies.

It appears China leases these animals and the proceeds are used to conserve these animals. Even pandas born outside China belong to China. In effect, they are property of China.
Although they are not endangered, they need a lot of care and considered vulnerable. According to World Wildlife Fund (WWF) there are about 1864 pandas in the wild and some 400 in captivity.
