This is what can be seen in the video John – it's not nice. Twice a day in Harbin Wildlife Park animals are eaten alive by tigers, purely for visitor entertainment. This is considered a family event and parents and children watch from a bus driven into the enclosure. The overweight, overfed tigers can be seen to eat a live calf that has been tipped from a truck into the centre. As they are not hungry the tigers don't dispatch the animal quickly, but eat it at leisure. The calf can still be heard crying out 10 minutes later. At the same time visitors can be seen feeding terrified live chickens through small exit windows in the bus. In another clip at another zoo, bears are forced to pull cars, walk on tightropes and twirl batons of fire. The reporter was told the animals were more scared of the beating they would get if they didn't perform than the risk of being burned. There were other awful images but I think you get the picture.

Eanjay, writing to embassies, newspapers etc is a good way of exposing this sort of cruelty; the more people who object, the more likely the bad publicity will see it stopped. I'm sure there are other, perhaps more effective things that can be done but to be honest I'm not really an expert on this.
