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.

All the shareholders thought the donkey was an ass.

I hope they had the good sense to sell tickets.

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.

Angry Shareholders Feed Live Donkey To Tiger In Chinese Zoo

What did they hope to achieve?

[lefty-lie-spy]

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.

“What did they hope to achieve?”

Now that would be a damn good time!

[marktwain]

Well, they have world wide name recognition now!

[Timpanagos1]

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

[Boomer]

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.

[ebshumidors]

They should have started with Pelosi and worked their way from there.

ROFL!

Donations might just put this zoo back in the running!

Anyway, I’d hate to be a losing minority shareholder vote in China!

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Donkey.

And now when those tigers go to the bar, they can tell their buddies about the piece of ass they got.

[DesertRhino]

Inscrutable. A distasteful people at times.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Dang! Those shareholders must have been really angry to feed their own lunch to the tigers!

[Oldexpat]

And we have a program to give rich Chinese shareholders green cards?
