Zoo Under Fire for Dyeing Dogs to Resemble Pandas
Mixed Reactions to Controversial Exhibit
A zoo in China has sparked outrage after it was revealed that they had dyed the fur of several dogs to make them look like pandas. The Taizhou Zoo, located in Jiangsu Province, opened a new exhibit featuring the "panda dogs," which were actually Chow Chows with their fur dyed black and white.
Criticism and Ethical Concerns
The exhibit has drawn widespread criticism from animal rights activists and the general public. Critics argue that dyeing the dogs' fur is cruel and unethical, as it could cause skin irritation and other health problems. Others have expressed concern that the zoo is misleading visitors, who may believe that they are seeing real pandas.
Zoo's Defense and Lack of Response
The zoo has defended its actions, claiming that the dye used is safe and that the dogs are not harmed. However, they have not provided any evidence to support these claims. The zoo has also been criticized for refusing to comment on the controversy.
