中國最近興起一股潮流,那就是把活生生的動物密封在塑膠袋裡拿來當作帶來好運的幸運鑰匙圈。然而,看完以下這些產品的模樣,會讓你真的懷疑,這到底是幸運還是不幸啊…
你可以在中國一些大城市的車站外面看到很多小販在賣這種一個45塊台幣 (美金1.5元) 的幸運鑰匙圈。

你沒看錯,裡面裝的是真的烏龜。
據說每個鑰匙圈裏的氧氣和養分都足夠讓這些動物生存。

這些鑰匙圈的大小裝得下小魚,還有年幼的中國軟骨烏龜。

中國攤販表示這些動物都可以在鑰匙圈的塑膠袋裡活個幾天,但當他們袋子裡的氧氣和養分總會用完,最後還是會被悶死或是餓死。
![According to some vendors, the animals can survive for a few days in the bag. Eventually though, they use up all the oxygen and nutrients in the bag. They then alternately suffocate or starve to death.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/44_desktop-1426604038.jpg)

當然中國的動物保護團體也痛批這種商業手法既「殘忍」又「不人道」。
![As you might imagine, animal rights groups in China have condemned these live animals keychains as "cruel," and "inhumane."](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/desktop-1426604036.jpg)

但這並沒有阻止這些動物鑰匙圈的高人氣,尤其大受中國年輕人歡迎,有些認為這些鑰匙圈很時尚。
![Still, that hasn't stopped sales of the keychains throughout China. They're especially popular with young people who see them as a fashionable accessory.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/desktop-1426604034.jpg)

關於這種東西,其實只要東西沒有人買,就不會助長任何的消費行為,可惜還是有消費者會去購買,希望這樣的風潮可以儘快消失呀!
