China Zoo Under Fire For Disguising Dog As Lion. The "Lion" Barked by chuqudy(m): 12:38am On Aug 16, 2013 |
A Chinese zoo's supposed "African lion" was exposed as a fraud when the dog used as a substitute started barking. The zoo in the People's Park of Luohe, in the central province of Henan, replaced exotic exhibits with common species, according to the state-run Beijing Youth Daily. It quoted a customer surnamed Liu who wanted to show her son the different sounds animals made -- but he pointed out that the animal in the cage labelled "African lion" was barking. The beast was in fact a Tibetan mastiff -- a large and long-haired breed of dog. "The zoo is absolutely cheating us," the paper quoted Liu, who was charged 15 yuan ($2.45) for the ticket, as saying. "They are trying to disguise the dogs as lions." Three other species housed incorrectly included two coypu rodents in a snake's cage, a white fox in a leopard's den, and another dog in a wolf pen. The chief of the park's animal department, Liu Suya, told the paper that while it does have a lion, it had been taken to a breeding facility and the dog -- which belonged to an employee -- had been temporarily housed in the zoo over safety concerns. Users of China's Twitter-like Sina Weibo service mocked the zoo. "This is not funny at all. It's sad for both the zoo and the animals," said one. "They should at least use a husky to pretend to be a wolf," said another. Source: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/china-zoo-under-fire-disguising-dog-lion-070130828.html#m9r4TMN |

The Chinese act now like Senegalese. The latter are famous for selling lizards to European tourists swearing that "this little crocodile can easily grow up in a swimming pool in your backyard" . |

panafrican: The Chinese act now like Senegalese. The latter are famous for selling lizards to European tourists swearing that "this little crocodile can easily grow up in a swimming pool in your backyard" .. I had expected better of Senegal. The Chinese are recognised as top counterfeiters, why should anybody be surprised. |
