A zoo in northern China is to stop feeding live puppies to pythons after a video of feeding time provoked outrage.
Footage and pictures taken and posted by a visitor at Riverside Zoo in Pingdingshan, Henan province, show a live puppy near a python in a box, with another picture showing a big and bulging yellow python coiling around a small puppy in an enclosure and apparently devouring it, the South China Morning Postreported Sunday.
