A zoo visitor sparked an outrage by pouring goat milk into a black bear's mouth in northern China.

The video was filmed in Dandong City in Liaoning Province on February 25.

Witnesses reported that the milk, poured from a mineral water bottle brought in from outside, was touted by the man as beneficial for the bear, claiming that anyone could drink goat milk and that it aids in nutrient absorption.

Zoo officials swiftly responded, reassuring the public that the health of the black bear was not compromised.

While they acknowledged the occasional act of kindness from visitors who wish to feed the animals, they emphasised the presence of clear signs prohibiting such actions. Every area of the zoo is monitored by caretakers, who intervene whenever they witness visitors attempting to feed the animals.

2月25日，辽宁丹东。一男子在动物园拿瓶子往黑熊嘴里倒羊奶。目击者表示，男子倒的羊奶是从外面用矿水瓶盛状后带进来的，并声称对熊有益处，羊奶不管谁都可以喝,羊奶是帮助吸收营养的。
对此，动物园工作人员表示，黑熊健康没问题。会有爱心人士来投喂小动物，但设有禁止投喂的提示牌，每个地方都有饲养员看管，看到游客投喂都会制止。
