Ling Ling Dead Dead

Ling LingTokyo's most famous zoo critter, Ling Ling, has taken the panda express to that great bamboo plant in the sky.

Officials say Japan's only giant panda died of old age in his cage yesterday. At 22, Ling Ling was the equivalent of a 70-year-old human.

36. VERY VERY INSENSITIVE HEADLINE AND STORY, TMZ. THIS WAS MY LAST TRIP TO YOUR SITE. I"M SO TIRED OF THE CALLOUS REMARKS AND CRUDE STORIES. LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE FEEL THE SAME WAY FROM THESE COMMENTS.

40. I AM A HUGE FAN OF TMZ AND THEY USUALLY HANDLED DEATHS REASONABLY WELL(E.G. CAMEROON DIAZ'S DAD) AND HEALTH LEDGER.. BUT AN INNOCENT ANIMAL WHO IS LOVED AROUND THE WORLD, TMZ TURNING IT INTO A RACIAL JOKE IS THE LOWEST POINT TMZ HAS GONE AND BASED ON THE REPLIES PROBABLY LOST SOME FANS TO X17.COM

IT WOULD BE LIKE IF MICHAEL JACKSONS PET MONKEY DIED AND SAYING THE BLACK MONKEY DIED JUST LIKE JACKO'S CAREER. TASTELESS.

41. I HAVE A GREAT IDEA, INSTEAD OF CLONING BORING MICE & GOATS, THEY SHOULD CLONE PANDA'S SO EVERYBODY CAN HAVE A PET PANDA WHO CAN HELP COOK AND DO THE LAUNDRY

42. headline headline stupid stupid

Posted at 12:35PM on Apr 30th 2008 by it's yes, I said it - not yeah

43. I agree, it was very insensitive.

But to those who have a problem with pandas being in zoos instead of the wild...Ling Ling probably lived much longer in the zoo than she ever would have in the wild due to poachers and habitat loss. At least they are safe and well cared for in zoos and reserves.

44. "Questor". does he still have that monkey? If so, I want to kill it, so TMZ can write up a story and steal that headline! Tasteless? No, that would be priceless!! (No, I don't hate animals, they are delicious. Plus monkey's are just plain creepy.)
