Tourists can buy live animals as keychains and lucky charms in China
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 ?
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.

this is the era of packaging of items and China has got the idea of packaging aquarium in this manner so that many pocket aquarium can be sold. Because, they have to sell anything to increase their economy. Though selling small live creatures in this way can't be supported but who can stop China..
