A surveillance video released online of two giant panda cubs being allegedly abused at the Chengdu Research Base in China is horrifying the internet.
The two-minute video shows the cubs being tossed around by a handler, thrown against an enclosure door and grabbed aggressively by the scruff of their neck.
The facility has addressed the controversy claiming that the abuse was merely a panda keeper, Guo Jingpeng, attempting to feed the panda cubs when they became violent and started biting him.
The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Chengdu, China is a popular tourist destination, that has partnerships with a number of giant panda conservation facilities, including the National Zoological Park in Washington, D.C. and Zoo Atlanta.
