Chinese Zoo Dyes Dogs To Look Like Pandas

A zoo in China has sparked debate after zookeepers dressed Chow Chow dogs as pandas. The pups had their fur trimmed and dyed to look just like the fun-loving bears. The fake pandas were on display starting May 1st at Taizhou Zoo. Visitors appreciated the spectacle, but were not “bamboo-zled.” “There are no panda bears at the zoo and we wanted to do this as a result,” a representative for the zoo said. Zoo officials insist that the dogs were not harmed by the hairdo. (NY Post)
