| A zoo in northeastern China has been ordered to close after a spate of deaths of Siberian tigers because of malnutrition and poor living conditions. The state-run Global Times says the Forestry Ministry has ordered the Shenyang Zoo to suspend operations. The Beijing News quotes a zoo official as saying up to 50 tigers may have died there since 2000 and it was an open secret that the zoo was producing and selling tiger bone Chinese medicine. | ||||||
