People Are Outraged That A Donkey Was Fed To Tigers At A Chinese Zoo

Trending News: Watch As Cruel Monsters Feed A Live Donkey To Tigers At The Zoo

Long Story Short

People are livid — and for good reason — that a helpless donkey was fed to a group of tigers at a Chinese zoo.

Long Story

Sure, the animal kingdom is an unforgiving place — but this is just wrong.

Tourists at the zoo in Yancheng city, China, were shocked to see as a helpless donkey was chucked into a moat and fed to a group of hungry tigers.

In the video, which you can watch below (if you're brave enough), you can see the donkey struggling and flailing as two of the tigers go HAM. It's gory.

Frustratingly, the reason for the donkey sacrifice is completely and utterly pointless.



BBC News reports that the donkey was thrown in by disgruntled shareholders who say the zoo has been wasting their money on a lengthy court battle with another company. According to the zoo management, the shareholders believe the zoo, as well as the courts, were "conspiring to cheat small investors of their investments, and so in a fit of rage, decided to feed donkeys and sheep... to tigers."

Just before the donkey was thrown into the water, the shareholders allegedly showed up and tried to steal other animals, but when they were stopped, they proceeded to feed the tigers.

"Since we could not have any benefits, we thought why not feed to the tigers, at least we can save on animal feed," an unnamed investor reportedly said.

Ugh, so freaking uncalled for. Not cool, not cool at all.

Maybe the people who threw the donkey in should have been fed to the tigers instead?
