any such contact with a wild animal. The ban was introduced more than a week ago.
"The city zoo broke the law and should be prohibited," said an official at the State Forestry Administration.
The administration notice last Monday clearly bans contact with wild or captive animals, the abuse of wild
or captive animals for performance purposes and any improper business related to wild animal products.
"Close contact with the chimp is the only bit that breaks the ban and we will end that soon," said Beijing Zoo
spokeswoman Ye Minxia yesterday.
"The chimpanzee performance can't stopped overnight as we have a contract with a company scheduled to
terminate at the end of this year," she said.
"The zoo is negotiating with the company in the hope of terminating it sooner," Ye said. She refused to
answer directly whether the chimp photo sessions were still ongoing yesterday, instead saying, "It's very likely
that we will cancel it tomorrow."
Zoo staff confirmed photos were taken yesterday, one employee saying 2-year-old Lele "works" from lo am
t0 3 pm daily, according to "the Legal Mirror".
Such activities not only damage the mental and physical health of the animals, but also risk the safety of
visitors, according to the official website of the State Forestry Administration where the notice was released.
"A pet male chimpanzee bit and attacked 55-year-old Chala Nash, causing serious injuries to her face, neck
and hands at her friend's home in Stamford, Connecticut on February 16th last year," CNN reported. "The
friend, Sandra Herold, called "the police, who shot 14-year-old Travis many times after he also attacked an
officer."
"Putting a blue T-shirt on a wild animal and training it to bare its teeth and parade for visitors might not
enhance that already- troubled image of Chinese animal protection," the State Forestry official warned. "Some
zoos even hit animals and promote themselves with commercials involving animal abuse," he said.
"Too much focus on the profits too often results in improper treatment of animals, contributing to their early
and unnatural deaths," the notice stated.
B. In newspapers.
C. In science fictions.
D. In book reviews.
B. It is hit by the people.
C. It attacked its owners.
D. It died unnaturally.
B. Profit-making Zoos
C. Animals in Danger
D. Animal Abuse
