A zoo in Shanwei, China, has admitted to painting dogs to resemble pandas after visitors noticed the animals panting and barking. The zoo, located in Jiangsu province, faced scrutiny when the disguised Chow Chow dogs were exposed. This incident follows a similar event earlier this year at the Taizhou Zoo, where painted dogs were also presented as pandas. The zoo's actions have sparked outrage and raised questions about ethical practices in animal exhibits. According to AsiaWire, the zoo states on tickets and signs that the animals are dogs, not pandas.
