China's brutal zoos

WARNING: CONTAINS DISTURBING IMAGES

Last weekend, four hungry tigers at the Shenyang Glacier Zoo killed and ate a Siberian tiger they had lived with for five years. The cash-strapped zoo, it was revealed, had not been able to feed the tigers with sufficient food for the last two years. Earlier this year, the brutal treatment of animals in China came under international spotlight, but for a totally different reason. This report by Sky News reminds us that while some animals in Chinese zoos and wildlife parks are starving, others are being overfed, all in the name of "good family entertainment".

Because China is a primitive, bruttish, thug society.

5000 years all summed up in that video. Bad, ogre China.

 

Isn't sending troops and bombs to middle east under the name of terrorism for oil far more brutal than feeding the tigers?
