This morning Sky News have covered a story about China’s “Asylum Zoos” for animals, it shows and describes how animals that ARE supposed to be cared for are clearly being abused for the amusement of zoo visitors.

It is describing how visitors to the zoo are encouraged to buy live chickens to be fed to Siberian Tigers for show, and there is also a really shocking image of a bear dressed up and pulling a car, it states that this bear does this event twice a day just for the cruel entertainment of its visitors.

Animal rights campaigners have said that the animals have literally been driven out of their minds due to boredom and have classed the zoo’s practices as being stuck in medieval times.

This is a country that wants to join the western economic elite, but at the same time demonstrates disgusting treatment of its citizens as well as the welfare of its animals, but instead many of the western developed nations ignore this in favour of money, i think all this stinks and i find it utterly disgusting!

I will leave you a link to the news story and you can make up your own minds.
