Zoo Unsafe, Except for Foreigners...
The workers at a zoo in Shenzhen, Guangdong went on strike last week to protest their low wages while their managers got huge amounts of pay compensation. According to the English language China Daily, the zoo was closed on Thursday because it was unsafe for visitors. Only foreign tourists were admitted! (Did they pay the foreigner entrance price I wonder?) However, the foreign tourists in the closed/unsafe zoo "said they saw monkeys eating weeds from lake."

That's what I want to know!
If the museum is closed for safety reasons, why are they letting in foreigners. Nobody should be allowed into a place that's unsafe -especially a zoo with wild hungry animals. Were they hoping the foreigners would be eaten?
