Chinese zoo embarrassed after attempting to pass off golden retriever dog as an African lion

Visitors to a zoo in southwestern China were left shocked and confused when they saw a golden retriever in a cage intended to accommodate an African lion.

In a video clip that circulated widely on social media this week, a man only identified by his surname Tang, took his child to visit Yuanjiashan Zoo in Xichang, Sichuan, on Saturday but was startled when they found a golden retriever in the African lion enclosure, despite signage introducing the animal as a feline.

“At first, we thought we had gone to the wrong place. But after walking around the cage, we realised it is where the lion should be housed,” Tang said in the video.

“Is that an African lion? Is it because it hasn’t grown up yet? It looks familiar to me,” he joked.

A worker of the zoo told Tang that the cage had housed a lion in the past, however, the animal had been moved to another location, he said. “We are adjusting the animals’ accommodations, with the lion’s sign not taken down [from the cage] yet,” said the worker in the video.

However, Tang said he did not accept this. He accused the zoo of selling tickets promoting lions. He also said he found no lions anywhere else in the zoo. “The money for the ticket is a small deal. What matters [to] me more is that I don’t know how to explain the current situation to my kid,” said Tang.

That story is a nothing burger. A guy who works at the zoo stuck his puppy in a cage that normally holds a lion.

Mr. Tang, tell your son that it is a lion, because the CCP said it is.

Another fake object from China...

How is this any different than America requiring people to pretend men are women and vice versa, and you can lose your job or go to jail if you don’t play the game?
