A wildlife park in eastern China is under investigation for the abnormal deaths of animals, including 20 Siberian tigers. The Fuyang Wildlife Park faces allegations of inhumane treatment and illegal breeding practices. Reports indicate that since 2018, the park has seen numerous animal deaths due to inadequate facilities, with many animals suffering physical disabilities from being kept in small cages. The park acquired several animals from a domestication exhibition company, despite regulations against artificial breeding. Animal rights advocates, including PETA Asia, have condemned the park’s treatment of animals and called for action.
Public outrage has led to the suspension of the park’s operations, as authorities investigate the reported deaths. Concerned individuals on social media have raised questions about the welfare of remaining animals and the park’s responsibility. The park operator and related companies are facing scrutiny over their handling of wildlife. The situation highlights broader issues of animal mistreatment in captivity, sparking calls for improved regulations and enforcement.
