A safari park in eastern China concealed the escape of three leopards - one of which was still at large - for nearly three weeks to prevent negative publicity affecting its visitor numbers during last week's May Day holiday, police said on Monday.

The revelation stoked further anger over the park's secretive response to the safety lapse in the city of Hangzhou and video clips showing the escaped cats being brutally hunted down with packs of dogs.

A hunt for the third leopard was still under way among hills covered by forest and tea plantations, after fresh paw prints were found on Sunday. "He believed that if it was truthfully announced or reported to authorities, it would seriously affect May Day visitor numbers, so he decided to conceal it and conduct a private search," Fei said.

But public outrage soared further after video emerged of one of the cats being mauled in a forest by a pack of fierce dogs.
