Zoo fires keeper for torturing South China tiger cub (2/2)

A piece of video clip shows a zookeeper is suspected of torturing a South China tiger cub on Jan 19, 2015. In a video that went viral online, a man is seen grabbing the neck of a cub, which is the size of a kitten, suspending the animal in the air, and punching it in the head when it tries to escape. Kuang Huaming, a manager at the zoo, has confirmed the authenticity of the video and says the keeper involved has been fired. South China tigers, believed to have been extinct in the wild for more than 30 years, are listed as one of the world's ten most endangered animals.[Photo/Chinanews.com]
