In consequence of their “bad behaviour” around the pandas, a dozen tourists have been permanently banned from China’s Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, according to CNN.

A statement posted on the research base’s official WeChat account said that 12 people, ages 26 to 61, have been given lifetime bans. Their offences included spitting into the pandas’ outdoor play area on two consecutive occasions and throwing bread, eggs, lollipop sticks, cigarettes, and bamboo shoots.

Fortunately, the pandas were unharmed by their wicked activity, and the WeChat post confirmed their continued excellent health and happiness.

According to CNN, The Research Base has not publicly identified any of the banned guests or their nationalities. The WeChat post explained that the tourists were not all together; the offences took place between April and June of this year.

The base, which is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Chengdu, has detailed visitor instructions on its website.

“Please be mindful of your own and animals’ safety,” reads one note. “Stay quiet and keep clear of animals; littering, spitting, throwing food into the animal activity field, and other behaviours threatening animals’ safety are prohibited.”

Violators of the rules face penalties including criticism and education, one-year bans, five-year bans, or lifetime bans from entering the park. The severity of the penalty depends on the degree of the violation.

The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding was established in 1987 in Sichuan, China, with the goal of restoring the native giant pandas’ natural habitat while serving as a top-notch research institution, conservation education hub, and international tourist destination.

Five tourists on a Ryanair flight from England to Spain were escorted off by the police when it landed in Tenerife because of their inappropriate and disruptive behaviour. A report in express.co.uk said that the incident took place on May 16 on flight number FR4346. The three males and two female passengers caused nightmare for other fellow passengers who complained to the crew. The outlet further said that the five tourists were not sitting together but sitting close to each other on the plane.

The male passengers allegedly started creating issues shortly after the plane took off by opening a duty-free liquor bottle and drinking straight from it.

As per accounts given by other passengers, the crew members warned the group but it didn’t have any effect, the express.co.uk report said.

The group kept sharing the drinks and misbehaving with fellow passengers. Some passengers claimed they engaged in inappropriate sexual behaviour despite the presence of children on the plane.

Finally, the pilot had to intervene, telling the unruly passengers that they risk grounding the flight and getting evicted from the plane.

When the flight landed at its destination, the pilot called the Spanish police and the cops arrived to meet the rowdy passengers.

The police took their passports and told them they won’t be able to travel back to England on a Ryanair flight.

The group was taken away by the police for questioning, the outlet further said.

In a statement, Ryanair said, “The crew of this flight from Liverpool to Tenerife (16 May) called ahead for police assistance after a small number of passengers became disruptive onboard. The aircraft was met by local police upon arrival at Tenerife and these passengers were removed. This is now a matter for local police.”
