A circus in Brescia in the northern part of Italy had its "pandas" seized by the local environmental police recently.
Turns out they weren't pandas at all. They were chow chows painted to look like pandas.
And the circus owners were charging kids for the privilege of taking pictures with the pandas.
RIght now, the owners are charged with animal cruelty, but will probably face charges for obtaining money under false pretenses.
Someone should paint them up to look like pandas and stick them in a zoo for a couple of weeks.
(The picture below comes from an Italian news feed, which explains why you may find some of the words unusual. I know I did.)
