China zoo under fire for disguising dog as lion

[JulesMaximus]

No, really. I am a lion! Woof... er I mean roar!

Get the Asians right. Chinese don't' eat dogs. My people do.

In South Korea, eating dog is technically illegal so it's done on the DL.

In China, it's out in the open, like this:

nothing from china surprises me anymore. their ingenuity knows no bounds when it comes to faking things. if only they channeled the same energy into making things awesome... sigh

At least get a large cat to substitute.

apparently, the leopard had been replaced with a white fox.

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.

Somewhere there is a man bringing home a "dog" from the pound, slathering his junk in Skippy Extra Crunchy, about to get the surprise of his life.

Surprised they aren't censoring it on a Chinese message board....the pics are just sad.

Great story! Actually, I really love the picture of the dog because it looks like one of those pets that wants to play with anyone who comes by. I'm surprised the story made it out of China though, they keep things lock and key, but I guess it was too funny not to share.
