This is not the first time something like this has happened unfortunately. July of last year, tourists of a reserve in Foping county, Hanzhong, Shaanxi province, were asked to leave and blacklisted after throwing stones at a panda, CCTV News reported. Beijing Zoo has since promised to improve panda house security and inspections.
不幸的是，这样的事情已经不是第一次发生了。据中央电视台报道，去年7月，陕西省汉中市佛坪县一个自然保护区的游客向一只熊猫扔石头，被要求离开，并被列入黑名单。自那以后，北京动物园承诺改善熊猫房的安全和检查。
