Chinese zoo outrage
#1
The Hebin Park Zoo in China has been caught feeding live tiny puppies to its Burmese Pythons. People are understandably outraged.

It looks like they obtained a whole litter of puppies and were feeding them off to the snakes. That is a horrible thing to do to a puppy. Snakes do have to be fed and in the wild they hunt and the animal has a chance of escape. If it is caught the end is quick.
In captivity, snakes don't have to be fed live food. What they were doing was leaving the puppy in the enclosure with the snake. It is a frightening and heartless situation. I suppose there are strays and they can get  whole litters of strays cheaply. 

The zoo is making the excuse that someone else does the feeding, but they should still be aware of what goes on in their zoo. 

This is as bad as the zoo that was feeding children's pets to their animals.
What is the matter with these people? Have they no decency or just plan common sense. 

It is sad that they are called a zoo. There are zoos out there doing amazing things for conservation and the preservation of species. It would be wrong if all zoos were given a bad name because of the terrible behavior of some zoos.

Just for the record. those are horrible snake enclosures. They can't even get that right.
