This is completely unacceptable! I can't believe it's legal.

Default presumed cruelty

not too sure about cruelty side of entombing live animal inside keychains. look at all those oysters, clams and other live edibles placed live on ice in supermarkets waiting for human consumption. think their potential lifespan is no more than 4 to 5 days.l

"waiting for human consumption" is the differentiator; unless your contention is that people should not eat animals

If you're not sure I can help clear it up for you:

Fish in keychains for decoration - Total nonsense, the idiots that created this are sick for exploiting these poor creatures in such a way.

Seafood in a market - Food

Your comparison makes no sense.

remember, what is acceptable in china's culture may not be acceptable in another. most lfs in canada have no problem selling a goldfish in a goldfish bowl.

if this was a betta keychain would that be ok?
small plastic cup or keychain?
