Chinese vendors have been selling pretty depressing keychains (two words I never thought Iād hear together) that consist of either a Brazil turtle or two small kingfish sealed inside a small plastic baggy. Each baggy, seven centimeters in length, is filled with colored liquid and the imprisoned animal(s) of choice. The vendors, who sell the baggies at the entrances to subways or train stations, claim the colored water is a ānutrient richā solution that allows the live creatures shoved inside a seven centimeter bag to live for a few months, after whichāif this story couldnāt get any more depressingāthe animals die and, according to Helablog, ārumor has itā¦the cadavers are heated in the microwave for 15 seconds and eaten while enjoying an ice cold beer.ā
The evidence:
Humans are to the animal kingdom what that asteroid was to the dinosaurs.
