Pandas are extremely popular attractions at zoos around the world. However, not all zoos are able to house the vulnerable bear species — so some have started applying chemical dyes to other animals, especially dogs, in order to create fake "pandas."
That's what happened at one small provincial zoo in Eastern China — and it was deeply alarming to the local residents there.
In fact, using dyes on animals' fur can cause burns, abrasions, and pain for the helpless creatures. That's especially true for the powerful dyes used to create a "panda dog." Black dye is extremely difficult to create in a natural, plant-based way, so it requires application of intense chemicals to achieve the dramatic black-and-white effect.
Not only are local residents speaking out, but so are experts in veterinary medicine and chemical engineering in China. One professor attests that these dyes contain toxic compounds. She states that: "If pets ingest these dyes by licking their fur, it could be fatal."
