RE: Fw: CN - China Opens First Zoo with Cohabiting Beasts

[Guest guest]

First fatality happened at this park. Yesterday, a male lion killed a

baboon. The enclosure for the lions and baboons is a glass case, without

escape routes for the baboon. When the lion attacked the baboon, the zoo

staff tried to entise the lion away from the dying baboon with a live

chicken. Yet, the baboon was already seriously injured and later died.

 

This zoo another example of a illed advised enterprise, in which animals are

the ultimate victims.
