Chongqing Theme Park Puts Tourists Face to Face with Lions, Tigers, and Bears
Jan 11, 2016 By eChinacities.com

A theme park in Yongchuan, Chongqing recently launched an excited ride in which visitors can feed live lions, tigers, and bears while enclosed in a metal cage. Park visitors can ride through the animal habitat in a metal cage attached to a truck and feed the animals through a special glass portal.

When the truck passes through the habitat, the animals immediately jump on the cage, looking for food. In the photos taken on January 8, tourists feed meat to the lions and tigers, and apples to the bears. The visitors in the truck screamed as the lions pounced on the cage, but were excited to see the animals up close.

I will never forget my visit to a zoo in Korea. It scarred me for life. I hate people.

Ever been to a Chinese zoo? I recommend avoiding them at all costs. Chinese men are the scum of the earth. Do they think it makes them look manly to shout at and throw garbage and cigarette butts at a caged animal? Those poor little souls, my heart goes out to them, they have been dealt a shit hand in this life.

They treat the pandas well because they are perceived as being "Chinese", while every other animal is a lao wai and thus alienated and harassed all day long.

See, this is actually a secret test. Scientists want to see what happens when lions, tigers and bears associate food with a cage full of humans. One day they plan to leave the cage door ajar (as hinted by Sorrel) and see if the wild animals go after the food the humans are feeding them, or if they go after the humans themselves. In another experiment, the 'glass portal' will mysteriously fall out of place enabling the lions, tigers and bears (oh my!) a chance to munch on ladyfingers instead of the usual boring meat and apples. Scientists will make side bets regarding who will lose fingers first for amusement, as they're certain someone will be stupid enough to try feeding the wild, dangerous animals manually.

How long before some idiot, ahem 'customer' tries to open the cage door? Or the door is not shut properly?
