Restaurant Shut Down WhenInspectors Find Turtle in Sink

A symbol of good luck brought some bad luck to a restaurant in York, P-A. When health inspectors found a snapping turtle in the kitchen sink of the Panda Chinese Kitchen, they closed the restaurant down. Owner Jim Zhao says in China a turtle is like a Buddha. It's supposed to bring good luck. Zhao says he rescued the turtle because he saw a man trying to get rid of it in the parking lot, so put it in the sink until he could release it. He's now given it to a friend. Inspectors ordered the restaurant shut down last Friday after finding the turtle and other health code violations. The restaurant is expected to re-open today.
