A weird trend in China has caught on, and many people in
other areas of the world are shocked. Animal rights activists are particularly
upset that people in China are keeping fish, turtles and other amphibians as
keepsakes on their keychains.
These charms are simply little plastic bags that contain
just a little water to allow the animal to stay alive.
The bag contains a small amount of crystallized oxygen and
other nutrients too for the animals to barely survive. However, the creature is
trapped in a tiny prison for the enjoyment of its owner.
The animals only really survive for a little amount of time
in their tiny prison, so if the owner wants their pet to stay alive, they must
cut it out of the plastic.
