Tigers come to Beijing for festivalsPosted by Eric Mu, September 28, 2004 11:48 AM
 There is no dominant news items in Beijing's newspapers today. The front page of The Beijing News is eye-catching, because it has a photo of an eye of a tiger. Yesterday afternoon, three young South China Tigers were transfered from Shanghai to Beijing by air. They will spend Mid Automn Festival and National Day in Beijing, then be sent to South Africa for wilderness orientation training next month. Apparently they are to be set free in the wild in the future, and South African game handlers have the know-how to train them to act like real tigers again, after their coddled youth in a zoo. Happy Mid Autumn Festival, cute tigers! |
