It’s cruel but is a fact. In China, you can buy a small fish or turtle placed in a small sealed keychain container.
The sellers claim they place nutritious supplements inside the plastic containers which keep the animals alive for as long as several months. This is of course, not true. No access to air and limited space kills these animals quite quickly.
Unfortunately, such trading activity is not banned in China and you can legally buy these poor creatures.

why are chinese people nuts put all of them in a plastic bags and starve them id be laughing to see them suffer like the poor animals theyre not dolls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you go home and you cut the bag open and put the animal into a tank. duh. is everyone retarded? just think about it. Who would want a dead pet? This is just an easier and more fun way of selling the fish/turtle
It is possibly a “more fun” way to sell a turtle or fish but it doesnt make it an less wrong.
i had to buy a live turtel keyring
Turtle*
I hate seeing this, it is most definitely not the best way to keep a fish, not only that how are you supposed to filter the water??
As you rightly say, get it home and put it into a spacious tanks
disgusting behaviour I have half a mind to seal the sellers in a plastic bag and claim the air has a special nutrient in it. surely something can be done abut this. I am considering going. If I ever see one in a shop I will buy it and stick it in a proper sized and maintained tank. If something is not done quickly billions of animals will suffer.
