Chinese Zoo Is Selling Tiger Urine, And A Bottle Can Be Yours For $7 (Which Sounds Like A Steal)

Recently I've found myself fascinated by zoos and aquariums in China. I know that's very specific, but I'm starting to lose track of all of the stories of downright wackiness that are coming out of that nation's zoos and aquariums.

It feels like there's a constant flow of stories that feel like they were some sort of get-rich-quick scheme cooked up by a Hanna-Barbera character.

We've seen dogs being painted to look like pandas. A robotic whale shark swimming around an aquarium. A live mermaid getting bit on the head by a giant fish.

Now, we've got a zoo trying to sell bottles of Siberian tiger pee.

And as if that wasn't strange enough, it's actually not a bad deal.

According to the South China Morning Post, Yaan Bifengxia Wildlife Zoo in Sichuan Province, southwestern China has been selling tiger pee to visitors. The zoo claims that the urine contains some medicinal value and has a "good therapeutic effect" on ailments ranging from rheumatoid arthritis to sprains and muscle pain.

Could be used as deer repellent for the garden.

Put some tiger in your tea!

Somehow I imagine Chinese gents gulping it down to enhance their sexual prowess, then trying to romance the ladies with tiger-urine breath.

This will certainly save me some ER visits from trying to acquire tiger urine the old fashioned way.

[TexasFreeper2009]

we need to convince liberals that ingesting tiger urine will inoculate them from Trump Derangement Syndrome!

LMAO

Put some tiger in your tea!

Urine trouble now!

[HYPOCRACY]

Let these guys know...

Maybe they know something (”ancient Chinese secret”), which would explain why “yellow man” became an ethnic slur not to be spoken, because that would mean the cat’s out of the bag..

🤔 🤓

[catnipman]

if china is selling it, you’ll be lucky if it’s even housecat piss ...

[BitWielder1]

Even if I had use for tiger urine, I would not buy it from China.
You'll never know what's actually in that bottle.
I will not ruin peoples breakfasts with my suspicions.

Seems like everything in Chinese folk medicine is geared toward ‘virility’ or ‘fertility’.

It must work, else why are there so damn many Chinese?............

[1raider1]

Outstanding! I laughed out loud.

😄😜🤪😀😆

[SunkenCiv]

Sounds like the Chinese economy is just doin’ great! /s

[Ezekiel]

If that’s not bad enough, they come to America, overeat, and then there are even more chins than in a Chinese phonebook.

[Ezekiel]

LOL, that’s just grrreat!

As Moms Mabley, RIP, once said, “There are so many Chinese they done run out of names for them all. So they just throw up a bunch of silverware into the air, and whatever sound it makes as it comes down is what they call the baby!”............
