    Mistreatment of giant pandas Lele and Yaya

    Giant pandas Lele and Yaya have long been abused and mistreated by the Memphis Zoo since 2003, they both have been suffering from distress and malfunction, while they spent their time in dirty, small enclosures, leading to Yaya having chronic skin diseases and severe health issues. In response to this, animal rights groups have been lobbying and urging the zoo to send the pandas back to their residence, where the campaign has been successful, as the zoo announced to return the pandas in 2024. [23] However, Lele passed away on January 2023 due to the unpleasant environment and lack of care, sparking anger and discontent in China. In spite of this, Chinese netizens urged authorities to bring Yaya back home to avoid tripping over the same stone. And memphis zoo restricted who can comment on facebook on this issue, and who allows a zoo to apply censorship in US?[24][25]
