Is this an actual controversy? I didn't see any disparaging comments on the Facebook post. It doesn't look bad to me. They probably could have done more to make it less "dropped in", but it looks okay to me.

It's mostly discussed on another facebook fan page, Mei Xiang's Next Miracle. So that mostly consist of zoo regulars/panda lovers.

It's busy in the small mammal house! Along with the skunks, they got a female prehensile tailed porcupine. She will pair with the male one soon. One of the old goeldi monkeys moved here from amazonia so he is in a safer enviroment. New animals on the way - tamandua, chevrotains, and chinchilla. I'm beyond thrilled about the tamandua!
