"Feeding the lions" in Chinese zoos

i'm not going to excerpt this uk daily mail article describing the truly appalling practices that are attracting ever-increasing crowds to chinese zoos... suffice it to say that it's just one more of a very long list of items that never make it into our controlled media stream...

(and, yes, i DO understand that there's a HUGE cultural gap operating here...)
