"A NATURE park in northern China has drawn complaints by allowing visitors to use real guns to kill baby chickens.
"The animals killed are all domestic fowl," said an official at the Mianjiang Mountain Park in Dandong.
The state-run newspaper Beijing Evening News said residents questioned by a reporter complained that the shooting was upsetting children visiting the park, as well as protected species housed nearby.
