Shanwei Zoo in Jiangsu Admits to Painting Dogs as Pandas After Outrage
Sep 19, 2024, 08:30 PM
A Chinese zoo in Shanwei has admitted to painting dogs to look like pandas after visitors noticed the animals panting and barking. The zoo, located in Jiangsu province, faced outrage and had to reveal the truth about their 'pandas'. This incident follows a similar case earlier this year at the Taizhou Zoo, where baby pandas were also found to be painted Chow Chow dogs. The zoo claims that they always stated on tickets and signs that the animals were dogs, not pandas. The news was reported via AsiaWire.
