Following the release of a disturbing (make that horrifying) video, which showed a live puppy being fed to a large snake, a zoo in China has vowed to stop the practice. According to the South China Morning Post, the Riverside Zoo in Pingdingshan, Henan province, bore the brunt of outrage from animal lovers after the video began circulating on the internet.
The video behind the outrage showed a live puppy sitting near a python in a snake enclosure – “bulges” in the snake implied that other puppies had already been served as meals to the reptile.
According to PETA Asia, after receiving “hundreds of angry comments,” the private zoo agreed to stop offering live puppies to their snakes. Read more from PETA Asia here.

Did you know that if you want to get updates from a Facebook page, you have to do more than just “like” it? To get recent postings in your Facebook feed, you must also hover your mouse over the word “following” and then click “see first” from the drop-down menu. You may want to check back with your favorite pages on occasion because Facebook often changes your settings, no longer having your favorites among those to “see first.”
Why does this not surprise me? China is one of the worst for animal compassion! The rest of the world needs to get on their butts for this barbaric practice!
Although we know what snakes of this type eat, no one has to view it or in any way see it. Stupid people to do this to a puppy too.

I Know it cause I know ; Chinise people also Eat Snakes and other Reptiles :/ :/

Beyond disgusting and unnecessarily cruel…..Absolutely heartbreaking!!!!!! WTF is wrong with these POS’s??? And WHY did they decide that live puppies were “optimum” snake food???
I know that anyone who is intentionally cruel to a furbaby will burn in Hell forever for their cruelty…… hope they get there ASAP……. after suffering a terrible death alone and afraid…..

Sorry i would not trust the Chinese as far as i could throw them. They say ZOO VOWS TO STOP FEEDING LIVE PUPPIES TO SNAKES. Yeah right i bet that they don’t Would love to feed them to the snakes BLOODY BASTARDS
CHINA NEEDS TO FEED THEIR OWN DAMN PEOPLE . THIS IS FU$KING SICK. I AM TIRED OF HEARING WHAT ROTTEN COLD HEARTED POS WILL DO TO ANIMALS. THESE BASTARDS CAN WATCH THIS SHIT. I HOPE ALL OF THEM DIE A SLOW PAINFUL DEATH OR FED TO THE SNAKES ALIVE.
Chinese are barbaric, heartless assholex, period!!!! Drop a bomb on them.
So, they’re going to, mercilessly kill the puppies before dropping their lifeless bodies in the enclosures?
China has no regard for any form of life, anyway. They still skin animals- including stolen family pet dogs and cats alive for fur and meat trade.
I am not surprised
I believe NOTHING China says regarding animals – this country is despicable when it comes to animal welfare – no way will they stop feeding innocent puppies to snakes – they eat dogs/cats and feels this is acceptable, why would they stop feeding puppies to snakes just because in infuriated people – they don’t care – they will just hide it better. BOYCOTT ALL PRODUCTS IMPORTED FROM CHINA –
Ignorant bastards!
China, they need to be told what’s wrong.they are insane.
ellen, Keep in mind it’s not much of a shocking issue too them as it would be here.
