Shareholders in a zoo near Shanghai, frustrated that they weren't making a profit on their investment, fed a live donkey to zoo tigers as a form of protest.
Video of the scene shows the donkey pushed down a makeshift ramp into the water surrounding the tiger habitat, where it is promptly pounced upon. Tigers bite and claw the donkey as it bleeds and struggles in the water. The footage has prompted protest and outrage in China.
In a statement, shareholders who invested in Yancheng Safari Park say they held a meeting and voted in favor of feeding the live donkey to the tigers to express their frustration.

I can’t quite put my finger on it, but something about this concept seems like it could be helpful in solving certain nagging political problems.

From the article,
“The shareholders said that their anger was not just over their own money. “The animals became the biggest victims” of the asset-freezing, the shareholders say, noting that two giraffes and other rare animals have died because the zoo could not provide them with “timely and effective treatment.”
Alrihty then. Killing this donkey will solve that problem for sure. LOLZing on this.

The tigers ate that ass as if he were a rented mule.

They should have voted to feed one of the shareholders to the Tigers and sell tickets.
The one who drew the short straw wouldn’t be too happy but the rest would have a nice payday.
Just think of it a good cause shareholder loser.

ROFL!
Donations might just put this zoo back in the running!
Anyway, I’d hate to be a losing minority shareholder vote in China!
