A zoo in China sparked all out panda-monium after they dressed dogs as pandas because they didn't have the genuine artifact, as seen in viral photos.
The fake pandas, unveiled May 1 at the Taizhou Zoo in Jiangsu Province, were actually Chow Chow dogs — a big-haired breed from Northern China, Jam Press reported.
Zoo officials reportedly trimmed their mane and dyed their faces black to look like China's iconic bamboo-eating bear.
They then put the so-called “panda dogs” on display in an enclosure every day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., attracting throngs of people despite the obvious bamboo-zlement, per the sanctuary's staffers.
When asked why they had the canines engage in panda cosplay, a rep explained, “There are no panda bears at the zoo and we wanted to do this as a result.”

This is cute and all, but knowing China they coloured the dogs with some spray paint made out of 100% concentrated carcinogens, and that's not cute at all.

That's probably just harmless marinade with food coloring. Wouldn't wanna ingest carcinogenic dyes when eating them

Fun fact: a Chinese
woman 
in Xian starved to death 
after the elevator she was in was switched off. Her body wasn't found 
for a month.

Were they actually trying to pass them off as dogs? I don't know how common this is, but my cousin runs a zoo outside Qingdao which has dogs... I could see them dying the dogs to look like pandas as a gimmick. What little we see of the exhibit looks like a dog exhibit, complete with dog house.
I looked into it more and found an article supporting my theory.

Yeah keep this lying shit up, China.
They rub their greedy little hands together and chuckle, "heh heh we sure showed them" after making a quick, dishonest buck, and they wonder why the United States out-competes them at every turn, and they wonder why they'll never be a superpower.

That's pretty funny and such stereotypical chink behavior lol
As long as they don't advertise that they have pandas, there's no reason to get mad

The ability of Chinese people to lie with a straight face will never cease to astound me. It's like their default.

It's all scams and denying student squashing tho
Russian lies are more amazing the way they'll race around everywhere then circle back to the original denial and accept it with pride

Did no one else see the best part?!
“Ten years ago the natural instinct of a Chinese person was to eat a dog,” Hsin Ch'en, a pet shop owner in Chengdu, Sichuan, told London's Metro newspaper. “Now we are like Westerners and want one as a companion. The cute breeds like French bulldogs and labradors were the favorites, but now it is the panda dog.”
