CRUEL ZOO UNDER FIRE 02/09/2012

Zoo officials in China are facing condemnation for staging a fire safety campaign for children - by forcing terrified animals to face up to flames and smoke. The shocking displays - at the Chongqing Wild Animal Zoo, in south west China - feature Zhenni the baby chimp in garish orange dungarees, who has been drilled to walk towards a spluttering smoke pot billowing clouds of noxious fumes while operating a fire extinguisher. Another scene features a confused bear named Lala dressed in a basketball vest grappling with a high pressure water hose. And for a sickening finale, trained sea lions were forced to evacuate the stage through smoke and flames led by their trainer. The display - supported by local fire brigade officials - has been condemned by animal welfare experts.

Book of the Month - The Cause by Jane Mann The Cause by Jane Mann

The Cause will make you question, make you angry, make you weep. It helps us to understand the motivation and determination of those who want to bring the practice of vivisection to an end and value animals for what they are - as sentient beings.
