Chinese Torture Zoos

[Miss Z]

I cringed when I saw the bears on the video. Poor things looked like they were choking and scared stiff. And the movement of those little ponies carrying the tigers was awful, it looked as if their legs may snap they were so rigid.

It'll never close down, though, until Western tourists stop paying big money to see it. That's the real issue, not necessarily any alleged Chinese corruption.

I guess the answer is China is NOT a humane society & I should not
expect they would treat their people any better than they treat animals.

Lizbud, that quote is over 35 years old; do you think the USA is still exactly the same as it was then? Why then, do you think China has not changed too? It still has a very long way to go I agree but you are not helping by making negative comments about HISTORY! I do not mean to offend you but please think about it.

Giselle,

Couldn't have said it better!

While I don't condone it, and I think it's inhumane...every country has it's own culture.
