Chinese zoo tries passing off dog as an 'African lion'

The People’s Park of Luohe in the Chinese province Henan has an amazing “African lion” on exhibit for spectators. But the most amazing fact about this proud creature is that it’s actually a dog, not a lion. As Agence France-Presse reports, the hoax was exposed when the dog, a Tibetan mastiff, started barking.
According to the state-run publication Beijing Youth Daily, a mother and son heard the unexpected sound coming from the alleged lion during a recent visit to the zoo.
The paper says the zoo has been replacing exotic species with substitutes, including placing two rodents in a snake’s cage, a white fox in a leopard’s den and a common dog in a wolf’s pen.
“The zoo is absolutely cheating us,” the visitor, Sharon Liu, told the paper. “They are trying to disguise the dogs as lions.”
Liu and other zoo visitors reportedly paid 15 yuan ($2.45) for the chance to see the dog and other substitute animals up close.
And this is far from the only case of animal impersonation in China. There have also been recent reports of Chinese zoo officials painting dogs black and white to make them look like pandas.
Liu Suya, chief of the zoo’s animal department, told the paper that the actual lion has been temporarily sent to a breeding facility.
"The wolf is somewhere else in the pen and the dog is a pet,” another zoo official told the Oriental Daily. “The African lions will be back. They went to another zoo to breed."
The zoo’s head also told the paper that the signs outside the African lion cage would be changed until the actual lion returns.

I saw the pic and instantly thought of NWlight.. Think I've been on the shroomery too long.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I'm gonna get one of those (tibetan mastiff) someday. They've been domesticated longer than any other dog! IIRC at least.
My sister has a "newfoundland"
Which is just another type of mastiff

I was stationed up in Wyoming for work a few years back and was in the same apartment building with a bunch of Indonesian dudes who worked for Exxon, and I took them to Yellowstone National Park one day. They thought it was a damn petting zoo. I told them grizzly bears and wolves inhabited the park. They told me they wanted to walk up to them and put their arms around them and take pictures and shit. Then they asked me where the elephants and giraffes were at.
I mean I know they're not from here and all, but...

as long as we are discussing our borderline racist observations, I think that people from india and the middle east are paranoid about our stereotype of them as smelling bad because they always wear WAY too fucking much cologne and perfume.

Their cooked foods are potent as fuck odor wise. Especially Indian food. And I like some Indian food, too. But fuck, dude. I went to an Indian restaurant a few years back and completely ruined a jacket. Serious as fuck. It reeked so bad I threw my jacket in the trunk as I drove home. The next day it still smelled like hardcore Indian food. Then I washed it. STILL DIDN'T GO AWAY.
Then jacket promptly met dumpster.
