That looks like a very unsanitary zoo! Hopefully, someone rescues these animals!
That looks like a very unsanitary zoo! Hopefully, someone rescues these animals!
A zoo has landed itself in hot water after trying to pass off fluffy dogs as lions and rats as snakes.
A clearly-marked sign claimed an animal in one of the cages was an African lion but visitors became infuriated when it was clear a Tibetan mastiff dog was inside instead.
Elsewhere in the zoo, foxes were used to impersonate leopards and another dog was used to impersonate a wolf.
And in their most creative feat a couple of rats, clearly scurrying around in a cage, were labelled snakes.
Punters were obviously having none of it, especially when they were alarmed to hear a dog barking inside one of the cages.
Yu Hua, head of the People’s Park where the zoo is located said private contractors ran the zoo.
A manager at the zoo in the eastern Chinese city of Luohe desperately tried to explain what had happened, saying the dog was the lion’s friend and the African animal had been sent to another zoo to breed.
Sounds like animal neglect to me!
