Visitors to Beijing zoo are warned not to feed the animals, but they are encouraged to eat them at a restaurant that offers crocodile and scorpion on its exotic menu.
After watching the beasts in their cages, diners at the zoo's restaurant can gnaw on the webbed toes of a hippopotamus, chew a kangaroo tail, nibble a deer's penis or slurp down a bowl of ant soup.
The sale of the dishes has caused outrage since it was reported earlier this week, with conservationists condemning the practice.
Are they things that are eaten in Africa by humans? If they aren't endangered and this will not cause endangerment, I don't see the harm. Is it Asian culture or something else?
BTW, I went to a pig farm and ate pig schnitzel in Germany.
I went to The Fort and ate elk and buffalo. I eat elk at home.
lol , first think I thought of when I saw the header was the aquarium/restaurant in Denver. And remember Tuesday is "Keep the Fin" night. And for a small fee, you can dive in the tank yourself and spear your own dinner. It can't get more fresh than that!
