A Chinese Zoo has now been in the limelight of social media. The reason why it has sparked the internet attention will make you laugh!

Recently, a Chinese zoo has admitted that, they paint Donkeys, black and-white stripes to make it look like a Zebra.
The Zoo justified this act by saying, they did it to boost the visitor numbers.

Zibo City amusement park in Shandong province is the zoo which is facing internet trolling now.
As the controversy went viral, the zoo confirmed they used dye but mentions it was harmless to the animals.

Chinese netizens called out this act, and warned the zoo to not do any such practices in future.
The zoo justified this activity by pointing out a similar incident where another zoos dyed a dog to make it look like a panda.
A staff member at the zoo stated, the owner did it just for fun.This is not the first time, a zoo has done such a deception. Last month, another zoo in China went viral for painting chow chow dogs with black and orange stripes to make it look like tigers.

The zoo also admitted that, this was done just for a gimmick. As the social media showed their outrage against animal cruelty, the zoo gave an official statement claiming the dyes used,are non-toxic and is not harmful to the animals in any means.

However, the social media is not turning blind to this matter. The netizens consider this as animal cruelty, and mentioned it’s unfair to the animals and the visitors.
