Chinese zoo under fire for painting dogs black and white.

A zoo in China has been accused of trying to deceive visitors with a pair of dogs dyed black and white to look like panda bears.
Videos circulating on Chinese social media show the two “panda dogs” in an exhibit at Taizhou Zoo in the eastern province of Jiangsu that opened on May 1. Though the animals are patterned to look like pandas, which are endemic to China and an international symbol of the country, their wagging tails give them away.
Zoo officials told Chinese state media that they were Chow Chows — a fluffy dog breed originally from northern China — painted black and white to resemble giant pandas, adding that they had clearly advertised them as “panda dogs” and did not make any false claims.
The dogs are still at the zoo, officials told NBC News by phone on Friday, where the number of people coming to see them remained “at a normal level.”
The zoo, which does not have real pandas, was nonetheless criticized by state media and others for misleading visitors and mistreating the dogs.
“It is not funny at all to dye Chow Chow dogs to attract tourists,” one commenter wrote on the social media platform Weibo. “Their fragile skin and naturally thick coats make them susceptible to skin diseases.”
Zoo officials defended the exhibit, saying the dogs had not been harmed.
“Normal people dye their hair,” a spokesperson told Qilu Evening News. “Dogs can dye their hair, too. It’s the same as hair.”

At least they didn't put fentanyl in them like they usually do with things.

Well it’s the media’s fault when China now chops off the dogs tail.

I'm just glad I got to see real ones on my trip to China, such docile creatures, and much smaller than I thought.

I know everyone is scared of them, but this is basically what China's military is too.

The zoo was asked why they did it and the response was
"because we do not have any pandas"
"because we do not have any pandas"
