A Chinese zoo faces outrage after admitting its "pandas" were painted dogs. Visitors demand refunds after discovering the deceptive display at Shanwei Zoo.
A zoo in China has ignited public outrage after admitting to deceiving visitors by presenting painted dogs as pandas.
The scandal at Shanwei Zoo unraveled when guests noticed the "pandas" barking and panting, leading to the revelation that they were, in fact, dyed chow chows.
Video evidence from a visitor showed one dog clearly panting, while another was seen walking with a distinctive curly tail.
Initially, the zoo attempted to cover up the deception by claiming the animals were a rare breed of "panda dogs." However, it later confessed to dyeing two chow chows to mimic pandas.
The scandal has sparked demands for refunds from outraged visitors.
