As the panda sees this hollow empty shell of this turtle, it made him feel sad to see that nothing was left other then the shell. I couldn't imagine if the panda going extinct and all was left was their fur or paw or head. Just having a piece of the animal to be on display for others to see is not all that great if you don't have the full animal. For knowledge purposes I think if would be better if some how homo sapiens can reserve the entire animal like on the second floor.
Even tho its better then nothing, and its also for education, stuffing animal still seems a bit wrong to being seen on display. But at least people have the decency to recreate each animals natural habitat in the museum. Weather is a deer in a forest, or a lion with its pack, or a bird in its nest, I don't think I would get offend seeing pandas stuff as long as they are being display in their natural habitat such as eating a bamboo or sleeping.
However, being on the third floor would scare me a bit if I would see other pandas in jars or reading about how people experiment on them. Even when I saw all the other animals in jars or pictures of experiment I feel like they have no sympathy for these poor animals. I know its for learning but the relationship between homo sapiens and other animals would turn to worst if this method of teaching get abuse. I feel that if you are going to do this to an animal weather its already dead or alive, you should respect the creature in the end and display things with some dignity to these creatures.
dang that is a BIG photo of a bug
