Well, not that she’d every given it very much consideration. After all, very few of them do, just so long as they can get their hands on an accordion, very few of them bother to stop to think of the consequences, especially in relation to the pandas.
After all, with pandas being as rare as they are, and their well-known disinclination to get down and dirty with each other leading to a general consensus that their numbers will continue to be limited, the last thing you want is some young know-it-all with a sense of entitlement, and an accordion, coming around and annoying the poor things, especially when there is bamboo to be chewed… and – more likely as not – the female panda already has an headache.
Still, that is not the only instance of wild animal-related musical disquieting going on in the modern world. After all, who amongst us has been so hard of heart as to not reach into our pocket when confronted with one of those adverts for a donkey sanctuary. The only place a donkey cane feel safe from the otherwise ever-present menace of bongos.
Many of us have also selflessly made donations for a bagpipe-free enclosure at the Edinburgh zoo for the zebras and for an anti-xylophone fence to be built across the Serengeti to keep the elephants safe.
No doubt there are many of us too that hope that a world free from lions plagued by clarinets will – one day - no longer be an impossible dream.
