A shocking video where keepers at a Chinese
zoo are pushing a donkey into a pond filled with tigers has sparked massive
outrage on social media.
The appalling incident took place at the
Changzhou zoo in eastern China. The terrified donkey can be seen clinging to
his life, as a group of people dressed in raincoats push the animal down a ramp
that leads directly to the tiger compound. Zookeepers showed absolutely no
compassion as they sentenced the donkey to a horrible suffering.
It is not long before the tigers gather
around and start feeding off the donkey, who stands no chance of survival. In
just moments, the predators devour their lunch as shocked passers by record the
scene with their mobile phones.
According to the witnesses, the entire
donkey was eaten by the tigers in just half an hour. Can you imagine what that
donkey was forced to endure? His pain and suffering are really hard to put into
words.
According to several reports that surfaced
online, the donkey was tossed in the moat filled with tigers in order to
impress an investor – it still is unclear what the outcome of the meeting with
the investor was.
We, the undersigned, demand that the Changzhou
zoo is immediately shut down on a permanent basis and all animals are relocated
to a sanctuary, where they can live the rest of their lives in peace. It is
clear that this zoo has the slightest preocupation for animal welfare and the
safety of its inhabitants. Those animals remain in danger as long as they
continue to be confined in that zoo. We cannot allow this situation to
continue.
Please take action now and help put this
terrible zoo out of business. No animal should be allowed to suffer like this
harmless donkey was.
