    Angry zoo investors reportedly shoved a live donkey into a tiger exhibit. (Imagine China Photo Agency)
    A donkey became collateral damage over an alleged dispute between an investor and managers of a zoo in China.
    Graphic video uploaded to LiveLeak on Monday shows a group of men shoving a donkey off the back of a truck and into a tiger exhibit. The donkey lands with a splash into a moat that surrounds the enclosure.
    The donkey struggled for 30 minutes in the water as several tigers pounced on it, according to the China’s English news site South China Morning Post.
    the footage is graphic.' data-reactid="25">The below video was filmed on Monday at the Yancheng Wild Animal World in the Jiangsu province of eastern China. Be warned, the footage is graphic.

    Zoo officials said in a statement released on Sina Weibo (a Chinese microblogging site similar to Twitter) that investors in the zoo threw the donkey into the tigers’ exhibit after becoming frustrated over a dispute between the zoo and another company which led to the freezing of the zoo’s assets, the BBC reported.
    The investors responsible for the feeding frenzy reportedly attempted to take the donkey and other zoo animals out of the zoo in order to sell them, but were stopped by security, according to South China Morning Post. Still angry, the investors shoved the donkey into the tigers’ moat instead.
    In the video, zoo visitors can be heard reacting with horror and surprise as the donkey lands in the predators’ exhibit.
    They were stopped from taking zoo animals to sell. So they threw a live donkey into the tiger enclosure instead https://t.co/4e65bQIPKI?ncid=edlinkushpmg00000313pic.twitter.com/A5ZshxIeqO

    In the official statement, zoo officials apologized for the bizarre outburst and said that they would ensure that “a similar incident would never happen again,” according to a translation by the BBC.
    As the Telegraph’s China correspondent Neil Connor pointed out, violent scenes are a common attraction in the country’s zoos and animal safaris.
    Big Cat Rescue, a Florida-based animal rescue sanctuary, has accused China’s Harbin Siberian Tiger Park for selling tourist packages that allow visitors to feed live chickens and cows to their tigers.
    Video of the incident went viral on Chinese social media and many commenters responded with disgust over the investors’ actions.

    What really happened is the "investors" are actually criminals that tried to extort money from the zoo and the zoo employees did what they could to stop it.
    I went to the Beijing Zoo which is supposed to be a world class tourist attraction. The place was a filthy dump and all the animals and birds looked like they were starving. The foreigners there, including me, were shocked at the conditon of the zoo and animals. Many Chinese people were throwing bottles and rocks at the animals. Adults, parents, giving their children items to throw at the animals. My wife is Chinese and she was almost in tears from what she witnessed and the sheer number of families trying to hurt the animals. The scene really embarrassed her. Finally, after an investigation, the zoo keeper was arrested for stealing $10 million USD from the zoo instead of using it for zoo upkeep. He's doing life in prison now.

    I was thinking the same. In fact, I'd help throw them into the moat.

    How to spot a sociopath:
    1 in 25 people qualify.
    The Hare Psychopathy Checklist – Revised

    GLIB and SUPERFICIAL CHARM — The tendency to be smooth, engaging, charming, slick, and verbally facile. Psychopathic charm is not in the least shy, self-conscious, or afraid to say anything. A psychopath never gets tongue-tied. They have freed themselves from the social conventions about taking turns in talking, for example.

    GRANDIOSE SELF-WORTH — A grossly inflated view of one’s abilities and self-worth, self-assured, opinionated, ####y, a braggart. Psychopaths are arrogant people who believe they are superior human beings.

    NEED FOR STIMULATION or PRONENESS TO BOREDOM — An excessive need for novel, thrilling, and exciting stimulation; taking chances and doing things that are risky. Psychopaths often have low self-discipline in carrying tasks through to completion because they get bored easily. They fail to work at the same job for any length of time, for example, or to finish tasks that they consider dull or routine.

    PATHOLOGICAL LYING — Can be moderate or high; in moderate form, they will be shrewd, crafty, cunning, sly, and clever; in extreme form, they will be deceptive, deceitful, underhanded, unscrupulous, manipulative, and dishonest.

    CONNING AND MANIPULATIVENESS — The use of deceit and deception to cheat, con, or defraud others for personal gain; distinguished from Item #4 in the degree to which exploitation and callous ruthlessness is present, as reflected in a lack of concern for the feelings and suffering of one’s victims.

    LACK OF REMORSE OR GUILT — A lack of feelings or concern for the losses, pain, and suffering of victims; a tendency to be unconcerned, dispassionate, cold-hearted, and non-empathic. This item is usually demonstrated by a disdain for one’s victims.

    SHALLOW AFFECT — Emotional poverty or a limited range or depth of feelings; interpersonal coldness in spite of signs of open gregariousness.

    CALLOUSNESS and LACK OF EMPATHY— A lack of feelings toward people in general; cold, contemptuous, inconsiderate, and tactless.

    PARASITIC LIFESTYLE — An intentional, manipulative, selfish, and exploitative financial dependence on others as reflected in a lack of motivation, low self-discipline, and inability to begin or complete responsibilities.

    POOR BEHAVIORAL CONTROLS — Expressions of irritability, annoyance, impatience, threats, aggression, and verbal abuse; inadequate control of anger and temper; acting hastily.

    PROMISCUOUS SEXUAL BEHAVIOR — A variety of brief, superficial relations, numerous affairs, and an indiscriminate selection of sexual partners; the maintenance of several relationships at the same time; a history of attempts to sexually coerce others into sexual activity or taking great pride at discussing sexual exploits or conquests.

    EARLY BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS — A variety of behaviors prior to age 13, including lying, theft, cheating, vandalism, bullying, sexual activity, fire-setting, glue-sniffing, alcohol use, and running away from home.

    LACK OF REALISTIC, LONG-TERM GOALS — An inability or persistent failure to develop and execute long-term plans and goals; a nomadic existence, aimless, lacking direction in life.

    IMPULSIVITY — The occurrence of behaviors that are unpremeditated and lack reflection or planning; inability to resist temptation, frustrations, and urges; a lack of deliberation without considering the consequences; foolhardy, rash, unpredictable, erratic, and reckless.

    IRRESPONSIBILITY — Repeated failure to fulfill or honor obligations and commitments; such as not paying bills, defaulting on loans, performing sloppy work, being absent or late to work, failing to honor contractual agreements.

    FAILURE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR OWN ACTIONS — A failure to accept responsibility for one’s actions reflected in low conscientiousness, an absence of dutifulness, antagonistic manipulation, denial of responsibility, and an effort to manipulate others through this denial.

    MANY SHORT-TERM MARITAL RELATIONSHIPS — A lack of commitment to a long-term relationship reflected in inconsistent, undependable, and unreliable commitments in life, including marital.

    JUVENILE DELINQUENCY — Behavior problems between the ages of 13-18; mostly behaviors that are crimes or clearly involve aspects of antagonism, exploitation, aggression, manipulation, or a callous, ruthless tough-mindedness.

    REVOCATION OF CONDITION RELEASE— A revocation of probation or other conditional releases due to technical violations, such as carelessness, low deliberation, or failing to appear.

    CRIMINAL VERSATILITY — A diversity of types of criminal offenses, regardless if the person has been arrested or convicted for them; taking great pride at getting away with crimes.The word psychopath can be replaced with the word sociopath throughout this page. The meaning is very similar, if not the same.

    I will provide the PFD's so that the tigers cannot drown the sorry SOB's. They deserve every second of being brutally mauled to death and eaten alive. Despicable human beings.
