Death by Panda!
From March 1946...



My philosophy is that animals in general are more dangerous than commonly thought. We've glamorized and idealized them way beyond their true natures are. Pandas look ever so adorable and are generally docile in captivity. But you never know. As their habitat shrinks and they turn more toward eating meat occasionally, I would not be surprised to hear of a panda attack now and then. They're not exactly small and helpless little guinea pigs, either.

I think the pendulum has swung too far, from the days when animals were seen as put on Earth for us to use as we saw fit and big game hunting for trophy heads was considered entirely fine. I like animals as such, I agree that species should be protected and beasts should not be subjected to unnecessary harm... but they're just animals, not "angels in fur."
