Going to the Dogs?


An Italian circus has apparently got into trouble for getting people to pay money to have their pictures taken with 'pandas' (http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/dec/23/chow-down-italian-circus-trouble-disguising-dogs-show-pandas). The only trouble was that the 'pandas' were actually cosmetic-treated dogs. The dogs were reportedly healthy but their eyes were irritated (it was thought that this was caused by being repeatedly subjected to camera flashes). Amazing what people try to get away with and it's cheaper than having to feed them fresh bamboo!
