Short Entry about Pandas

I am trying to find a topic for my Environmental Sociology class and I found a funny little article talking about a panda biting people.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/01/09/panda.attack/index.html?iref=newssearch

It made me laugh. Why would people go down into an animal pen and NOT expect to be hurt. My favorite quote was:
"A year earlier, state media reported that a drunken tourist tried to hug the panda, who bit him. In an odd twist, the tourist reportedly bit back."
I laughed really hard at that. Imagine a drunk guy (most likely American) going into the zoo. He then has this great idea to get in the pen and hug that panda. Just because it would be awesome; not to mention its a PANDA. As soon as the guy hugs the panda, the panda bites him. Angered in his drunken state, the man does the first thing that comes to mind. He bites the panda back. I don't know about you guys, but this amuses me greatly.

Edit: haha, i found more information on the subject
