A Chinese zoo allegedly admitted to painting donkeys black and white to pass off as zebras in an attempt to drive up park attendance.
The Zibo City amusement park in Shandong province came under fire when internet users noticed the donkeys were disguised as zebras in early February, according to China’s state-run Global Times.
Online users blasted the zoo for its “misleading and unethical” treatment of the animals for the sake of bringing in park visitors,” according to Metro.
“It’s unfair to the animals and the visitors,” a critic said on Chinese social media app Douyin, the outlet reported.
Some assumed that employees used duck tape on the farm animals while others suspected it was dye.
The zoo confirmed that dye was used on the creatures but insisted it was not toxic.
