This is a re-petition for already closed one:

For the price you might expect to pay for some kitschy trinket, Chinese street vendors are selling live animals (turtles and kingfish), permanently sealed in a small plastic pouch where they can survive for a short while as someone's conversation piece. Apparently, these unimaginably inhumane keyrings are actually quite popular -- and worst of all, it's totally legal. Keyring ornaments are perhaps the most useless item you'll ever carry in your pocket or stuff in your purse -- but now, thanks to an increasingly popular item being sold in China, it can easily be the cruelest, too.

According to The Global Times these keyring accessories containing live animals are widely available and sold publicly in subway stations and on sidewalks. Potential buyers have the choice between a living Brazil turtle or two small kingfish, sealed in an airtight package along with some colored water. One vendor claimed that the trapped creatures "can live for months inside there" because the water contains "nutrients," though veterinarians have already disputed this claim.

Let's tell the Chinese government that these torture/death trap keychains need to be illegal!
