Lion cub, baby orangutans sick from Chinese milk
AP - Friday, September

SHANGHAI, China - A lion cub and two baby orangutans
have developed kidney stones at a zoo near Shanghai, making them
the latest victims of China's tainted milk crisis.
The three baby animals had been nursed with milk powder for more
than a year, said Zhang Xu, a veterinarian with the Hangzhou
Zhangxu Animal Hospital.
The powder was made by the Sanlu Group Co., which is at the
center of the tainted milk crisis. The industrial chemical melamine
has been found in a growing range of Chinese-made dairy products,
and it has been blamed for sickening more than 50,000 infants in
China and killing four.
The orangutans and lion cub at the Hangzhou Safari Park near
Shanghai were found with kidney stones Wednesday after concerned
officials sent them to Zhang for a checkup.
"The milk powder crisis made us very worried about the health
situation of baby animals," Ju Lijia, the animal park's public
affairs manager, said by phone Wednesday. "We stopped feeding with
Sanlu after it was found to be tainted."
The three animals were the only ones found with kidney stones,
Ju said.
Officials at the Beijing Zoo and zoos in the other major cities
of Shanghai, Guangzhou and Xian said they had no cases of animals
sickened from milk powder.
An official at the world's most famous panda reserve, the Wolong
Nature Reserve, said the baby pandas there are not fed milk
formula.
