Stop Live Fish, Turtles And Other Amphibians Being Sold As Keychains And Charms In China!
In China, live fish, turtles and other amphibians are being sold as keychains and mobile phone charms. For the accessories the animals are fully sealed within small plastic bags, causing animal rights groups to condemn the practice as ‘cruel’.
Most commonly sold outside of train and subway stations in the major cities, the animals can be seen paddling/swimming within a small amount of colored water. Reportedly, the keychains can be bought for as little as $1.50. Within the bag, the animals can survive no longer than a few days. A vendor told CNN, that the animals must be cut out of the bag before the air runs out, otherwise they would suffocate.

This is a very cruel trade and must be stopped IMMEDIATELY!
