This is such animal cruelty, and it has to stop. All animals have the same rights just like humans, and also the right to be wild and free. They are not on earth to entertain very sick people. Save the animals!!!!!!!!!!!

Take action! Animals Asia, headquartered in Hong Kong, put together a sample letter that you can post or email to your Chinese Embassy in protest to these Olympics. See this link: http://www.animalsasia.org/index.php?module=6&menupos=10&lg=en

Well...I didn't read such a news, but I should say sorry about this animal olympics. Yes, we indeed do not have good track credit in animal rights...but there are still many people who care about animals and do want to do sth. for them. Everything is going to be better, but needs time and effort. However, thanks for the comments!

This is the sort of PR that China should be ashamed of, especially prior to the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Of particuar note is the scene showing bears being forced to stand on their hind legs and prodded to fight each other. For a so-called civilised country, China has a long way to go yet. China does not have a good track record in animal rights, in fact, a long documented history of extreme cruelty to animals, esp in regard to bear biling. Please write to the Chinese Embassy and register your strong protest.

Good thing Steve Irwin isn't alive to see this.

I love the Wild Animal Park. I am less than impressed with their animal shows. Along with other idiocies, they have a poor bewildered kangaroo hobbling around the ring in boxing gloves. I have written to the Australian Embassy. I'm sure this matter will be at the top of their agenda.
