Secret film reveals reality of China's 'wildlife parks' and zoos

An Ecostorm investigation carried out in China on behalf of pressure group One Voice has revealed the appalling conditions and widespread cruelty endured by captive wildlife – including the endangered tiger, bears and monkeys – at a number of the country's leading 'wildlife parks' and zoos. Shocking secret film obtained at eight such establishments prompted a special report by the Daily Mail (UK) newspaper and further coverage in France and beyond. The evidence is being used by campaigners to strengthen calls for animal protection laws to be introduced in China ahead of the forthcoming Olympic games. Animals in China currently have little protection in law.
