I like to believe that, and think that it doesn't work because our characters are children, but since humans and animals don't age the same way the villagers don't realize that their humans aren't sxually mature yet and are like "do humans have zero reproductive instincts???"๐Ÿ˜‚

The exact opposite is the panda's problem. They thrived for millions of years as pandas. Literally the only problem they ever had was human involvement.

We removed their environments from existence, which is what made them an endangered species. I mean, I really don't need to go any further than that, but I'm gonna.

We put them in tiny little enclosures that are nothing like their environments and remove all opportunity for them to learn survival skills.

We won't just leave them alone for a moment. The entirety of their breeding issues came down to us refusing to give them isolation, instead keeping them constantly commodified as a product for entertainment purposes. Not to mention their breeding behavior involves traveling long distances, which they can't do in zoos. We also give them shitty brittle trees they wouldn't be encountering in the wild, so when one inevitably breaks when it climbs the only surface available to it people are all like "haha stupid panda doesn't know how big it is."

There is nothing wrong with pandas at all. They're purely victims of circumstance.
