I was wandering around Elsweyr on my villainous Necromancer and I saw this little guy scratching at a tree, and it made me crave him as a pet. Not only because red pandas are my favourite animals (I have one tattooed on my arm), but also because it would really help to raise awareness for them.
Red pandas are endangered according to the IUCN's list of threatened species. Over the last 2 decades, the global population of these adorable wee lads and ladies has halved, with that number rising for the next few generations. Estimates on how many are left in the wild range from 10,000 down to an upsetting 2,500. Acrss China, India, Nepal, and Bhutan there are protected areas for these adorable fellas to live in peace.
So, Zenimax. I would like to respectfully request that the red panda be added to the Cartel Market as a pet. As much as I would like it to have a longer and fluffier tail, I am more than happy to accept the badger retexture it currently is. Please let players have this adorable wee thing follow us around, warm our seats at home, and raise awareness for their real world plight.
Blood for the Pact!
