Ep.4 – The Chinese Mall That Doubles as a Prison for Animals

For this episode of China Untold, I am going to introduce you to what I have dubbed ‘The Worst Mall in China.’ Located in the heart of Guangzhou, Grandview Mall is by many metrics a fine shopping center. It’s modern and plays host to a myriad of brand-name stores and quality restaurants. Unfortunately for fans of the mall, the shopping facility is also home to an ethical disaster known to city residents as the Grandview Aquarium. Hong Kong-based animal welfare organization Animals Asia has labeled the conditions at the aquarium “horrifying” and described the attraction as a “prison for animals.”
