The Beijing Zoo has caused a stir after it was reported that the same breeds of animals found at the zoo are also on its restaurant menu, according to the Christian Science Monitor.

The restaurant's manager said this has been going on for years, but some people now are upset by it.

"How would you feel, watching animals imprisoned in a limited space while eating their siblings?" Zheng Yuanjie, a well-known author, put on his blog, according to the Christian Science Monitor.

The zoo's restaurant insists that none of the animals on the menu come from the zoo's enclosure.
