Target: Chang Wanquan, Minister of State Security – People’s Republic of China
Goal: End the cruel and inhumane practice of selling live animals, such as turtles and fish, in keychains and trinkets.
The use of live animals in keychains and trinkets is a cruel and inhumane practice that is prevalent in China. Live animals, such as turtles and fish, are kept in small plastic pouches filled with water and attached to keychains or trinkets. This practice not only causes immense suffering and stress to the animals, but it also promotes the illegal wildlife trade and contributes to the decline of endangered species.
To combat this issue, it is crucial to raise awareness about the harms of this practice and push for the adoption of more humane alternatives, such as synthetic materials or non-living objects. Furthermore, enforcement efforts must be strengthened to crack down on the illegal wildlife trade overall as it causes animals immense suffering.
Sign the below petition to urge Minister Chang Wanquan and the People’s Republic of China to take action to ban the use of live animals in keychains and trinkets and ensure the well-being and protection of animals.
