I guess I'm curious how long they typically "last".

this thread makes me so sad.

The sellers say 3 months, reality is a few hours to a day or so.

I had to check snopes to make sure this was real! Ahhhh, real monsters.

"they reportedly watched one fish keychain and nine turtle keychains sell in five minutes time, to both people who think they’re neat, and others who buy the keychains to free the animals."

It's like partially an industry of making people upset so they'll give the seller money to undo the cruelty that the seller just did.

When I went to AllGood music festival in 2008, some jackasses were selling turtles like the ones pictured above in small terrariums. It was close to 100 degrees outside. Lots of hippies were buying them just to set them free. I bet the vast majority of those turtles were dead by the end of the weekend.

This could be a clever marketing trick targeted to those who feel obligated to save the poor animals. Clever business strategy, indeed.

>then why buy this


because humans > animals

oh, and I'd buy the baby keychain

so your question is invalid :3

these fish, reptiles, and amphibians are being produced as a commodity. who cares what you do with them? if they were being raised to be eaten, would people care as much?

GOT DAMN IT CHINA!

4/14/2013 5:20:48 PM

considering it's china, i'm just assuming this is a trial run before they introduce the live baby human keychains

4/14/2013 5:23:37 PM

i'm far more outraged at its impracticality as a keychain.

but how am i supposed to fit that in my pocket?

4/14/2013 7:32:45 PM

Asia has long been the holocaust for turtles, or any rare animal, for that matter.
