 Do Panda bears commit suicide ?


According to an article in Slate they just might. Consider the case of Yaya:

A sleep-deprived panda inadvertently crushed her newborn cub to death at a zoo in China last week.  "Pandas who lose their young tend to be depressed for a month or so," said a
zoo official. "Yaya appeared to be so sad when she couldn't find her baby...…Tears could be seen in her eyes."

In the past I used to think a great deal about what, exactly differentiates human people from the animals. I used to think it was the fact that animals didn’t commit suicide. Human beings seem to desire to reach out for more than what the material world can offer; that we are spiritual and thereby have a yearning for something deeper from life.

Subsequently, I have found that there are plenty of people content to submerge themselves in the material world and carry about their life as though they were animals even worse than animals sometimes.…and now I find out that animals have a psychological side!

Well, I guess I’ll have to rethink this one a bit.…What separates the person from the animal ??? Comment below !!!
