Yep, this is what its like, well, at the Suzhou City Zoo (苏州市动物园; Suzhou shi dongwuyuan) at least: a number of small caged areas featuring various apes (see above), at least ten deer crammed into one cage (also see above) and a dancing elephant (which we didn't see, thankfully), all of which aren't kept in natural environments and probably don't get the best treatment (by American standards, I mean). Basically, if one of these places were allowed to open in the U.S., PETA would be all up in the ownership's grill with lawsuits until the place was shut down (mind you, this is a situation in which government regulations in regards to zoos are virtually nonexistent).
