Many animals that call zoos home are incredibly dangerous and deadly animals, which is why one patron in China was horrified by who he saw behind the glass.
A tourist, who has been identified by his online username ‘ Yuan Shengpen bless’, had been visiting the Dezhou Zoo in eastern China with his girlfriend and had stopped at the wolf enclosure. However, as he looked, he realized that not all of the animals in the enclosure were, in fact, wolves.
One of the animals, which was walking with a limp and appeared to have a bite mark in his paw, appeared to be a Siberian Husky dog, not a wild wolf.”The husky won’t get bullied if it is kept with a pack of wolves, however it will surely feel very lonely,” Yuan said. “As we all know, wolves like living with each other and have a strong sense of territory. Don’t you think it would be miserable for the dog to live there?”
Yuan later posted his video on his Weibo account to express his concern, and it quickly went viral. The zoo then released a statement assuring the dog was fine and that he was in the enclosure to ‘increase the level of appreciation as well as the entertainment values for visitors’.
‘This dog clearly needs urgent veterinary attention and belongs in a loving home, not in a zoo to be exploited for the paying public,” said Elisa Allen, director of PETA UK. “The predatory instincts of wolves don’t simply vanish in captivity, and a limping domesticated dog thrown into their enclosure may well end up on the receiving end of aggression.’
Watch the entire video below to see the shocking moment one zoo visitor realized a dog had been thrown into a wolf exhibit.
