BAN LIVE ANIMAL KEYCHAINS

               As of late, the vendors throughout china have come up with a new product that’s “all the rage” with the locals. The products are key chains, but not as you might think. These key chains are a small plastic ball that’s 7 centimeters long (about 2 and a half inches). Inside these tiny plastic bags are either a small Brazil turtle or two small kingfish.
              Now, you’re probably thinking as I was, which is, “How do they SURVIVE?” Well, my dear readers, they bags are filled with a colored liquid supposedly containing enough nutrients to keep the creatures alive for several months. BUT, myself and others argue that the creatures would die in a matter of day, due to lack of oxygen, no matter how “nutritious” the colored liquid is.
              The poor creatures live for a couple of months, and then they die. I don’t entirely believe this next part, but rumor has it that people eat the carcasses. (uhhhhhh?)
At the bottom of this post is a link to the petition I have created to ban these dreadful key chains. If you would please just take a minute of your time to sign this, you would really be helping the cause.
