Gorillas are omnivores.
Pandas are ex-carnivores who've transitioned to a specialized herbivore diet over millions of years of evolution do to environmental factors. Additionally, you realize bamboo has a shit ton of protein and carbohydrate in a ratio similar to a hypercarnivores diet, right? That's how they were able to transition in the first place, Pandas digestive system and gut microbiome still resemble carnivores, they're not typical herbivores. In fact pandas have been known to occasionally snack on meat and consume small animals or carrion, aligning them as super picky omnivores.
And PANDAS DO NOT HAVE HANDS, not a single fucking species of bear has hands. They have specialized paws with pseudo-thumbs which is actually a modified wrist bone to grip and eat bamboo, not true hands.
Similar to Panda's, Koalas have specialized paws with curved claws adapted for gripping and climbing trees, not hands.
At least you got 1 thing right, Gorilla's have hands.
Go tell Pandas to stop occasionally & opportunistically snacking on small animals. You seem to love pushing your veganism, so why don't you go do that to the pandas?
Not a single thing I said was contradictory.
Do you even know what happens when a true herbivore eats meat? It leads to digestive problems like Peritonitis, organ damage, severe diarrhea and vomiting and malnutrition over time, their digestive systems are adapted for breaking down plant matter, not animal flesh. Herbivores lack the enzymes and acidic stomach environment needed to properly digest meat; Pandas as already shown don't have this issue.
I'm thoroughly convinced you slept through life science. It's a waste of time talking to you.
Just as you shown me; the take away I've learned is that Vegans argue the same way that fucking flat earthers argue and that's honestly sad.
