In China, they are sealing turtles and fish in key chains. There is no air, water or food in the key chain. When the animal dies, it's supposed to bring good luck. I think this is disgusting and a perfect example of how this world has no empathy for other living things. You can read more, and sign a petition against it here http://funadvice.com/r/1509h2g1t50 Please read and tell me (and everyone else) what you think about it.
i never heard anyone complaining about those fried scorpions....
there is probably some way they keep the animal alive in there since selling a dead animal is pointless and sales arent always gonna be super...
frankly you cant do anything about it, the petition is more a way to make americans believe they are doing something when in fact it only takes in revenue.... i dont remember America having gained power over china lately that allows you the luxury of seeing a petition through O_o
As a Chinese myself (not China Chinese, ethnic Chinese) I'm very very embarrassed by a lot of the customs we still practice. We've come a long way in terms of human rights but generally speaking animal rights are still very much a fringe movement in Asia and has yet to catch on with most people.
Personally I don't know how they do it, if you asked me to do something like that I might puke.
Fried scorpions are food to eat. They kill them quickly. These animals are sealed up as the buyer buys them, they live in the sealed keychains for a day or two and die slowly because of lack of oxygen and food. Signing petitions does help, it raises awareness and because of petitions with signatures many laws have been passed and many people doing cruel things have been fined/jailed.
its animal cruelty and needs to be stopped. i personally find it disgusting and in a perfect world, would like to see the people doing it being put in a keychain and left to suffocate and die themselves. hopefully they get a cruel punnishment like they deserve
no, i know that, but its incredibly cruel to do that to animals for profit,only to spend a few years in jail or get a fine. rarely do the people who do it learn how and why its so wrong
AWH! I'd buy them all and break them open on the beach and set them free. :( A fish with no water?! Im going to have to run down to china fast.
i think the person or people who thought of this stupid idea, should be sealed up with no food or water to see how it feels.
Whoever thought this up - is probably dead :D seems like this tradition's been around for centuries from the looks of it.
Repentance not punishment. Meting out inhumane punishments yourself makes you even worse than animal torturers himself
On a side not, its kind of ignorant that you assume Renee is from America. She is not in case you were interested...
Some people have to survive and make a living......so its either you or the cat........
No disrespect.....
Im with Informer on this one. Petitions and raising awareness helps in the west. Not so much in the east
I think its just stupid. How'd you like to be locked in a plastic bag with no air, or food? Hmmm?
Yeah, Danielle, I thought that too lol but I couldn't be bothered starting anything over it haha.
Of corse it's not a crime, they eat fetus soup over there, a turtle in a bag is a toy for them.
