An amazing & also shocking information is just waiting for you. You must be astonished when you hear the truth about the components used to make some sort of keychains in China. In China some sort of keychains are made with live animals. These special keychains are made for tourists.

Which animals are used ?

Generally small fishes or turtles are placed in a small sealed plastic keychain container.

 How long these animals live in keychains?

The sellers claim that they keep some nutritious supplements inside the plastic containers. This nutritious supplements keep the animals alive for several weeks or months. This is 100% false. Only food makes no animal live for a long. Without fresh oxygen, water, air no animals can survive for a long. Actually, no access to air and limited space kills these animals quite quickly.

Unfortunately, buying or selling these poor creatures as keychains is not banned in China. These activities are legal. I think it should be banned.

Government is sleeping everywhere.... it must be banned and protesters must raid such shops and release living creatures to their habitat
....

you're absolutely right. I agree with you :)

If only that will happen in there maybe many animals will be so happy. But I'm afraid it's not, that's why they keep on doing it. I have heard it already for a couple of months I guess and it's still continuing until now. Poor little creatures, I hope they turn into monster and punished those who harm.them :)

I also wish the same "those poor little creatures will turn into monster and give punishment those cruel people"

This is just cruel...
But what baffles me more is how can we even let something like this happen?

In China some cruel behaviour with animals sometimes happened. i.e. they kill cruelly their own house dogs & cats for food

But I'm just thinking about this kind, maybe they just do it just to sale their keychain. Some kind of business strategy since live animals put inside maybe they thinks it finds so appealing to the buyers. They wanted to sale their keychain saleable and they don't bother or mind if they harm those poor tiny creatures!

Buy hope all those who bought it, will set those little turtles and fishes free.

not only the sellers but also the buyers both are sinner

I don't know why some humans don't have a heart now a days. It's really changing though.

How sick you must be to buy this??? This is horrible. Let's get this on trending so more people are aware!

yes, thank you :)

the HUMANITY...

Yes... this is should be banned! :)

I agree with you thank you :)
