Chinese Zoo in Shanwei Admits Painting Dogs as Pandas After Outrage
Sep 19, 2024, 08:30 PM
A Chinese zoo has admitted to painting dogs to resemble pandas after visitors noticed the animals panting and barking. The zoo, located in Shanwei, faced widespread outrage and was forced to come clean about the deception. This incident follows a similar case earlier this year at the Taizhou Zoo in Jiangsu province, where baby pandas were also revealed to be painted Chow Chow dogs. The zoo had stated on tickets and signs that the animals were dogs, not pandas, but the practice has still drawn significant criticism. The story was reported via AsiaWire, and bizarre footage of the 'pandas' shocked the world.
