China has banned animal circuses and warned its zoos they must stop abusing animals or face closure.
It came into force on Tuesday across the 300 state-owned zoos which are part of the China Zoo Association.
The ban will also force zoos to stop selling animal parts in their shops and zoo restaurants will have to stop the widespread practice of serving dishes made out of rare animals.
Similarly, zoos will no longer be able to pull out the teeth of tiger cubs so that tourists can hold them and they will have to stop attractions where live chickens, goats, cows and even horses are sold to visitors who can then watch them being torn apart by the big cats.
