Chinese Zoo in Shanwei Admits Painted Chow Chow Dogs as Pandas
Sep 20, 2024, 02:30 PM
A Chinese zoo in Shanwei has admitted to painting Chow Chow dogs to resemble pandas after visitors noticed the animals panting and barking. The zoo initially claimed the animals were a rare breed of 'panda dogs,' but later acknowledged the deception. This incident follows a similar case earlier this year at the Taizhou Zoo in Jiangsu province. The zoo had stated on tickets and signs that the animals were dogs, not pandas, but the practice has sparked outrage and gone viral online. The viral video of the painted dogs has further fueled public backlash.
