Even the Chinese have been outraged by a zoo which passed off a dog as a lion, with the ruse only being exposed when a visitor questioned why their “lion” was barking.
The Henan province zoo was found to have been keeping a Tibetan mastiff in a lion cage, labelled as an “African lion.”
The “dog-lion” was outed when a mother took her child to see the animals, and was surprised to hear the lion barking.
The zoo’s explanation was that an employee’s dog temporarily replaced the lion when it was “sent away” to a breeding centre, because of unspecified “safety concerns.”
Once scrutiny was attracted it was also revealed that the zoo housed a white fox which it claimed was a leopard, and another dog which was labelled as a wolf.
This is unfortunately not the first time such concerns have been raised about China quality animals:
Fuckin Chinese… maybe they think they’re 3″ dick will grow if they eat dogs
No seriously, after the pollution, the elevator decapitations, the toys with more lead than a #2 pencil, the lack of animal cruelty laws, the animal cruelty itself, the school buses, and so on, does this really surprise anyone at all? And although I’m sure poverty can push people to extremes this just doesn’t surprise me.
Well a dog is actually a wolf (canis lupus), technically, so… go China, I guess…
i am better off alone. thanks.
Makes sense. The Chinese try and pass themselves off as people.
Who cares about liondog, look at this pandadog.
Simply ridiculous… shame on these people!
inb4 at least it didn’t explode or got beheaded
I’ve been to a Chinese Zoo….I did see lions there and that was just so freaking sad at how skin and bone those poor things are…The English teachers all pitched in and gave the poor things two whole pigs…
I know it wasn’t much, but damn….
and the little fuckers throw empty bottles at them (sometimes rocks or other heavy objects.)
I’m not one for PETA, I really hate it, but it would be awesome if PETA went over there for animal rights…
Well, what do you expect?
CHINA.
“What happened to a cat named ‘Dog?'” says ANONYMOUS as ANONYMOUS walks away with a smerg look on its face.
It’s name is Lion. It is a dog, but it’s name is Lion. Heh, heh. ^u^

Maybe the dog is there as a meal for the lion?
Another bomb successfully deactivated!!!
I’m going to strap some fake wings on my wife’s Chihuahua and charge people to see the Miniature Chinese Dragon. Why not: the government takes a few hundred fools and passes them off as a Congress, don’t they?
At least no explosion was recorded. That has to count for something.
Pathetic China… Pathetic…. There’s should be a limit to what you can try to “copy”.
Wasn’t recently a Tibetan mastiff sold as the most expensive dog on earth? http://goo.gl/k5m6nH
I’d imagine a lion is still more expensive than the most expensive dogs.. Maybe some corruption occur, instead of lion they buy a dog that look barely like a lion, and the rest of the money.. into their wallet.
OMG ITS A LION, PANDA AND A FREAKING ZEBRA!! SUGOI DESU!
This chinese people can pirate anything, including zoo animals!
The Chinese are like the Jews. Very crafty and they would come up with literally any way of making money, including cheap tricky like this.
The dog will explode.
Reminds me of this:

Voted up for including a link to an Earthworm Jim cartoon.
Puppy panda is cute.
Funny, they should change it to joke center.
*facepalm*
Everything was FAKE in china, include animal, the only thing that didn’t fake is “Great Wall”
They didn’t fake the Great Firewall of China, their explosive population and their jackboot-style governance.
Why is China such a fucking cartoon?
America really dropped the ball on it’s classics in the past decades. We’ll probably never see Golden-Age animation again… thank goodness China is there to fill the comedic void.

China takes pride in trying to fool people, thinking themselves cunning and prey on the ignorant.
Hell, China is a failed con artist in denial who keeps trying.
They’re trying to conquer the world by debilitating everyone with laughter.
Because anime was already taken by Japan.
How can someone not tell that that was a dog? Even if it never barked 😛 And these are the people who are suppose to be taking over the world in 20 years, lol.
Terrible education. The more people know, the less likely they are to suffer an oppressive regime.
Rumors of them taking over the world are likely greatly exaggerated.
For them to do that they’d have to defeat the US militarily and that’s unlikely.
US military vs the PLA wouldn’t even be a war, it would be pest control.
Why would the Chinese want to shoot you? They already own you.
They don’t own me, they own a dog they passed off as me. Big difference.
By war I mean such as a conflict in the pacific or a proxy war in some other country etc in a conventional battle.
If the US military was foolish enough to invade China then they might be able to defeat it by using unconventional tactics like the Vietnamese did.
Conquering China is pointless. British empire did it in the past and got bored of it. They made themselves slaves already anyway. Slaves that live far away and everyone hates. Why do you think stuff from China is as cheap as it became famous for?
FREEDOM MACHINE
The Great US of A, conqueror of Earth…
Lulz @ internet patriots.
you sound butt hurt
Fake museum now fake zoo wonder what places will be next.lol
What do we expect in China land of Fakes and explosives.
Fake explosives too, they might not even explode.
They’d be the only thing that doesn’t
Before I clicked the link, I was thinking “they’d probably take a white dog and paint its eyes and body in black and call it a panda”.
Lo! And behold at the 2nd screencap. LMAO
Dog’s real, not painted, just happened to grown that way. It gained some small fame for its looks.
Keep the comments on that Zebra-mule.
They should use a Husky to imitate a wolf no one will suspect.lol
That or a large coyote.
I want that panda dog.
Is that panda-dog for real? lol.
Maybe its a panda pretending to be a dog those panda can be very cunning
It did look real. I for one thought its some kind of new breed panda.
Its a Pandog
and a Zebrass
lol..
I laughed so damn hard when I heard about this, but when I saw the picture of the dog in the cage I just stopped. They literally dont give a shit about any of these animals, fake or otherwise.
more like they don’t give a shit about themselves.
– feeding themselves fake everything
– turning their water shit black or shit green
– smogging their air up like blade runner
Those cages don’t differ from the animal shelters here in the US.
There’s a big difference from keeping an animal in a temporary housing facility to encourage it to be adopted/put down and them putting it in a cage for display. Additionally most animal shelters in the US are dramatically underfunded. However many people in the US cities or otherwise treat pets like a purchase or commodity. But it is my hope that those who choose their pet do so out a sincere want to care for it.
So please do not compare an low funded shelter to house and treat unwanted/stray domestic animals in the US to the rusty, crowded and cruel cage that is a China zoo. As mentioned above in another post, China lacks any empathy for animals and is filled with cruel people who simply take what they want.
Of course they don’t care. Chinese eat their dogs.
I’m Chinese. And to be frank, I find your ethnocentrism appalling. Westerners eat pigs and cows, which are sacred animals in some other culture. Just because you westerners worship dogs as your pets doesn’t mean people from other cultures shouldn’t be eat dogs. I know there are Chinese who’ve love dogs and would never eat them, but I happen to like dogs as pets although I also wouldn’t mind eating them.
First off I would like to point out how ridiculous it is that you are trying to make such a serious argument with such a weak ability in terms of correct language structure and grammar. The contrast is too hard to ignore.
Second, just because you use a big word like ethnocentrism does not make you sound intelligent when you are in fact misappropriating the use thereof. Ethnocentrism is judging another culture solely by the values and standards of one’s own culture. The statement that Chinese people do not care about their dogs because they eat them (albeit a ridiculous oversimplification or a stereotype) has no relation to the person’s own culture. No comparison was drawn. Moreover, you say that Westerners eat animals that are sacred in other cultures, yet you also say that Westerners worship dogs (which is ridiculous in itself) but it is fine for Chinese people to eat them. By doing so, not only have you contradicted your own statements within your own argument, you have also proven to be guilty of ethnocentrism yourself. If you feel the need to make an argument against a statement like “Chinese people do not care, they eat their dogs”, then do so by fact and leave emotion out of it.
Final thought: I am a “Westerner” (I prefer to think of myself as a citizen of the world), but I have been living in China for five years now. There are many aspects of Chinese culture I hold dear, but I am also of the opinion that, though there are people who love their dogs and cats and animals in general, their are also a great number that mistreat animals, abuse them, hurt them and make them suffer in ways that are not needed. For example: selling little colored chicks to children as a toy (I have seen first hand the way the kids mishandle these chicks), selling little fish or turtles in tiny air-proof plastic boxes filled with water (I have seen first hand how quickly these die just to be replaced once again), people throwing fireworks at dogs, smacking puppies for no good reason, skinning live cats to be eaten… The list goes on. Let me be clear, I am not a vegetarian. I will pretty much eat anything, but I hold strongly to the belief that there is no need for cruelty when an animal is slaughtered, but there really is a general tendency in this country to disregard the fact that animals can feel pain, which is sad because it would be so simple and easy to employ more humane methods.
P.S. I apologize for any spelling mistakes, but I had no time to proof read.
Chinese here. I am a vegetarian and I have never eaten a dog. Those Chinese people you are talking about are probably not the majority Chinese or at least not those who live in a city. I know there are people eat dogs but I myself have never seen one. Those people that eat dogs probably are living in rural area, not very educated and have low living standards. Keep in mind that China, despite what you see or what the Communist government wants you to see are not mostly big cities and technologically advance. Most people are still living in slums and people don’t even have (or not having enough) electricity and medicine. In short, China is still a developing country.
Of course you wouldn’t know if you’re served dog in a restaurant. Unlike with this “lion” here, telling the difference by taste is incredibly difficult, especially since the Chinese are famous for obfuscating the taste of the raw ingredient with all kinds of spices.
sounds like Gotham City
Of coarse you’ll say things are good in China, if you don’t the state will come for you, and reeducate you.
What’s wrong with eat dog??
Here in Sulawesi Island / Sumatra Island
Eating Dog is not weird
Specially if You’re Batak Tribe(Sumatra)
Or If You’re Manado’s Tribe(Sulawesi)
It’s like you don’t eat your fellow men in a modern society. We do not eat those we invited in our homes. That includes dogs, cats and lots of other animals. Like Chinese. Whoops, that was discriminating.
Dogs were bred for the sole purpose of being human companions, not food. They were bred from docile wolves to be friends and protectors. Many people view them as family members. That’s why you’ll see so much opposition to eating them. You might not agree, but you’d have to be incredibly (and perhaps even purposefully) dense to not have any understanding as to why people would find it disturbing.
Stop eating the lions now!
eating animals are part of being a human but treating them inhumane is a big no, no, like in china i’ve seen pictures and read from blogs on how they prepare dog’s for a meal………….
like bathing them live in boiling water just to remove the furs??? is that what you want to eat??
atleats when you eat an animal make sure they where put down without them having to suffer or go true in long hell like pains before they die
and give respect in everything you eat
unless you’re a glutton you should die with your mouths full and die due to choking
[quote]Only people that act like locusts would purposefully eat dogs and not raise them properly.[/quote]
A Hindu follower would hold a similar opinion about cows. What makes your culturally favored animals more “worthy” than theirs?
Enjoy the cognitive dissonance, by the way.
“Emotional Intelligence”
Is that like the “Special Olympics?”
Most dogs are pretty retarded. Wolves are intelligent. The further along they’re inbreed into dog territory, the dumber they get.
Two things:
1. they aren’t as tasty as grazing animals
2. traditional livestock yields cheaper animal products
Actually, it’s true. They’re one of the few animals (if not only) that have such a close biological attachment to humans that they can actually read our faces and emotions. Not to mention they’re loyal as fuck.
It’s hard to say whether it’s wrong or not to eat dog, but surely only a psychopath would abuse a dog.
“Well, a number of people regard the emotional intelligence of a dog equivalent to a small child.”
A number of people are fucking retarded.
The pig is one of the most intelligent animals on earth. The embryo of a forming pig looks almost exactly like that of a human embryo. You can also genetically grow human organs inside a pig to then be later taken out and used on humans.
Yet you most probably eat pork, ham and bacon on a weekly basis. Your argument about dogs is invalid.
Well, a number of people regard the emotional intelligence of a dog equivalent to a small child. There usefulness as a companion pet, working dog, or security measure far outweigh the reason for turning it into a dinner snack. Those who respect dogs don’t eat them, or let them breed out of control. Instead they develop the innate nature of loyalty and breed specific characteristics of a dog to suit a purpose. Like this, they become a member of the family, hence eating dogs, any dogs is just like eating a small child.
Only people that act like locusts would purposefully eat dogs and not raise them properly.
I bet you eat meat. You’re an idiot.
Seems more like a lack of standards. Plus the massively corrupt government. The government is so corrupt you will likely get jailed for complaining, so they shut up and make do, and as long as they don’t make the government look bad they can get away with anything.
Ironically with legal, unlimited campaign contributions (aka bribes), and recent legislation on censorship and the spying stuff, the US seems like it’s rapidly becoming the second most corrupt country in the world.
Dude, please learn your fucking words and do not make posts on subjects you don’t know shit about. Go fuck yourself.
” but their culture is devoid of empathy. ”
This is true.
Source: I am chinese
I don’t eat meat. I’ve been over to China several times – they don’t give a shit about animals. The pet shops cram animals so tight into cages, they can barely move. You can go to restaurants and pick a live animal and they’ll bash its head into the pavement right in front of you before cooking it (dead or alive). They skin animals alive (including dogs). The civilized Chinese people I know are really nice, but their culture is devoid of empathy.
It’s not a matter of empathy its economics, If your living in poverty you’ll look for cheap easy access to food. Small animals fall into this category.
the lions were killed by snowballs probally, so this is the likely replacement.
This news made it all the way to the billboards in gangland, Cape Flats, Cape Town. Now, one can hear — “Jou ma se poes, maar die Chinese is daarem dom!”
Of course we have our own lion tamers too, but they end up drunk and face down real lions.
CHINA….
What the? do they paint these animals? How horrible!
I bet that “Zebra” is just a painted horse.
Actually, it’s an painted donkey…
lol, just lol. I just notice its size.
Actually, it’s a painted pony. Donkeys have larger ears and less bushy tails.
You don’t say…
this is almost as funny as religion
wasnt he mister yakuza…
Come, on, no religion hating. As long as they keep it under control and do not force anyone to join, its no problem to co-existing together. Atheist and religion, friendly to each other.
I’d give you a D for effort, but that woul imply I gove a crap what you believe.
Now, it’s almost as funny as you fxc2 aka Mr Religon.
moments later they probably tortured and ate the poor thing..
and hours later they shat they pants
and they sat down in a toilet that exploded!
and the remains of the exploded toilet landed on a little girl and people continued to drive by without helping!
Chinese do not eat dog. This is a myth. Only ones ask for dog are tourist. Korean too.
They do eat dogs, bugs and other weird shit. Not that other cultures don’t eat weird shit either. From stinky fermented fish to cheese with living maggots mankind eats all kinds of weird shit. Behold the power of omnivores!!!
Chinese eat monkey brain, cat, snake, tiger’s penis, spiders, scorpions.. Not shocked if they do eat dogs too.
Americans eat cow brain, cor penis and cow everything else in their pink slime burgers.
you never heard of the annual dog-meat-festival in china?
Depends on which part of China you are in. It’s a regional thing.
No, silly, the dogs are only eaten for scientific research.
@ Anon 3:14 I wonder if that constitutes animal cruelty.
To make those chows look like panda’s would require dying the fur around it’s eyes.
Yes, on mainland china dog meat can be more expensive than pork or beef. And it was raised to be eaten in Taiwan as recently as 12 years ago… Also, look at the tiger!
http://www.globalpost.com/dispatches/globalpost-blogs/the-rice-bowl/china-panda-pet-culture-dog-tiger-economy
Japs eats a lot of whales, just look at their “scientific expediation” to the Antarctic sea
Whatever. The Chinese will eat ANYTHING!
Dogs,Cats,etc.. Ask any real chinese
person that they can tell you horror
stories.
Even used onnaholes.
The entire human race eats weird shit. See that American burger over there? Most of that isn’t even meat!
Don’t forget they’ll add in the toxic seasoning for that extra radioactive flavor!
Japanese eat dolphin and whale so they’re not above eating weird shit
Even human fetus…Yummy!
Zoo Animals gone pirated
At least it didn’t explode.
Or if it was a real lion, I bet those China quality cages couldn’t keep them in.
Exploding animals like in that Monthy Python episode, that would be hilarious.
Its not a Tibetan Mastiff thats a Chow Chow. >:I
Perhaps it’s a Chow Chow being passed off as a Tibetan Mastiff being passed off as a lion? But is it really a Chow Chow?
Just how far does the rabbit hole go, I ask!
With China you can never really know for sure.
Lololololo
I guess they heard about Snoop Dogg changing his name to Snoop Lion and figured they’d give it a shot.
Snoop Lion Dog — Bow-meow-meow-yippy-roar-yippy-yay!
It’s a Pokemon!
its a mystic chinese lion, with the head of a dog…and the body of a dog…but a lion in the heart?
Mastiff=African lion? LOL, how gullible the previous visitors of that zoo must have been….
Also @the pictures: an dog as an fake panda bear (or w/e it must be), and an donkey as an zebra (?)…
LOL, those Chinese….
a tibetan mastiff looks nothing like a lion!
wtf! :p
For me, someone who can see real lions every day and go hunting them even, a Tibetan Mastiff is exotic.
It is a very good breed of dogs. You do not see these all that often in some places.
Especially zoos.
Wow, either the Zookeeper really don’t know anything about animals or they think Chinese were that gullible.
I’m a lion! Hear me roar!
I’m a lion! Hear me bark!
Lion has identity crisis.
Or dog has high expectations of himself.
Animals are not meant to be kept locked in cages for human amusement. ’nuff said.
You might want to do some research. Animals in zoos are often there because they wouldn’t be fit to live in the wild in any case. There are lots of orphaned and displaced animals in zoos.
Not meant?
Zoo’s aren’t just about amusing humans, it’s also a place of research on animals so we can better understand them and treat them medically. Also it’s a place of conservation as many endangered animals not kept in cavity would go extinct
Zoos also amuse animals.
Depends on the zoos. Some of them put the humans in the cages and the animals get this huge open space to roam in. Said open space also resembles their habitat.
