The article I read is about a zoo that doesn't allow visitors to feed their animals, but they are encouraged to eat them at a restaurant that offers crocodile and scorpions on its exotic menu. This was reported by the legal Daily newspaper. How could you eat them after watching them in their cages!
The International Fund for Animal Welfare said that "It was inappropiate for zoos to sell such items, and that this is socially irresponsable."
Zoo's purposes should encourage people to love and protect animals, and of course, to know more about them, so it doesn't make sense at all.
Chang Jiwen, a legal expert at the China Academy of Social Sciences is struggling for an animal protection law, agreeing that it is legal for them to do that, but definitely not appropiate and it should be against all zoo missions.
People who have found about this have been giving their opinions online, and disagreeing with what the zoo is doing.
The owners of the restaurant said that the meat they use is from exotic animal farms, and that these animals have been sold from long ago with full approval of the authorities.
Despite all this bad situation, staff has said that they'll check the menu again, which includes a variety of exotic animals such as the peacock, and ostrich egg.
(Dishes cost 10-100 euros).
Finally, the article says that it's necessary to be critical with these situations, in order to make changes.

Zoo's purposes should encourage people to love and protect animals, and of course, to know more about them, so this is very controversial.
