A video reveals dogs painted like tigers in a Chinese zoo, sparking outrage over misleading animal exhibits.
Taizhou: A strange video shows a dog painted to look like a tiger cub. This happened at a zoo in China, which is trying to attract tourists.
The dog is covered in orange and black dye. It walks around, seemingly unaware of its odd appearance. The zoo has faced backlash before for similar tricks.
In the video, the fluffy dog has stripes and a silly black mono-brow. It looks more like a colorful pup than a fierce tiger cub.
People have caught on to these tricks. Last year, another zoo was caught passing off painted dogs as pandas. Visitors were upset when they realized the truth.
In that case, the zoo claimed the animals were “panda dogs.” This kind of deception has become a problem in China, with many zoos trying to mislead visitors.
Even in Russia, street scammers have painted dogs to look like pandas. Local residents have reported these scams, leading to police involvement.
