A zoo in the Tianjin Municipality is looking for people to
help support food expenditures meat-eating animals such as tigers
and bears that are currently being fed only once a day for lack of
funds.
The zoo needs at least 300 yuan (US$38) each day to buy enough
foods, particularly meats, for the animals. But its daily income
from admission tickets is only about 100 yuan, Ning, head of the
zoo, said on Tuesday.
