Finland Zoo Returns Giant Pandas to China Early Due to Financial Struggles
A zoo in Finland is set to return two giant pandas to China earlier than planned, citing the high costs of their care as the primary reason. The financial woes faced by the zoo have made it increasingly difficult to sustain the pandas, which have been costly to feed and maintain. Initially gifted by Chinese President Xi Jinping, the pandas will be sent back after years of failing to breed and accumulating significant expenses. This decision highlights the ongoing financial challenges faced by the zoo, prompting the return of its beloved panda duo before their scheduled departure.
