5,000 pets found dead in boxes at Chinese shipping depot

A local rescue group says only about 250 rabbits, guinea pigs, cats and dogs were saved from the huge shipment, likely victims of the online pet trade.

No words. This is just so cruel and callous and a massive lapse all around. My thanks to the volunteers for their work.

Fuck China.

 

[SidViscous]

Sounds like this was some unintentional fuck-up but someone is rotting in hell for this.

 

[Fbh]

Pretty sad.

Also who the hell buys a pet online? Whether you are buying or adopting wouldn't you want to at least see and interact with an animal before you take it home for what might well be over a decade?

 

[isual]

theyll still use them as ingredients

I really feel like this is the kind of news we don't need around here. Does it serve any purpose other than to depress users?

It does, it's important to know shit like this happens. It humbles us and makes us think the lives of most of us are too good to be true (even though everyone has problems of some sort). It's important that the whole world know about these atrocities.

 

[DESTROYA]

Absolutely mind boggling someone would not remember they have living creatures in boxes that would need food and water .
This is more than “oops“ I forgot this is just outright neglect. Fuck China

 

[MrS]

Fuck China as always.

 

[teezzy]

China is asshole

 

[HellforLeather]

I feel sick to my stomach.

 

[Blade2.0]

My ex sent a dog through the mail just fine while I was In China. A stray we took in for a bit was pregnant. This is definitely some upper/mid-level management asshole that didn't give a shit about these animal's lives. This isn't an all of China thing

 

[M1chl]

I would not exactly be this mad, if it was people, however pets, I hope anyone tied to this will spend his/her life in China work camp.

I'm already well aware of that stuff because I see the news. I'm talking about this particular forum where a thread like this seems to serve no real purpose other than to highlight the worst aspects of humanity/the world, of which I think most of us are already well aware.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

JustEat in China are going to be pissed off that 5000 takeaways haven't been delivered.

OK, I think you are right about this. But, at the same time, the person who posted it just wanted us to know about the atrocities, it wasn't on bad intention at all

Fuck China. Such a garbage country. They are responsible for so much shit in this world already, including Covid-19.

I blame Akashi.

Same I hate this so much! *proceeds to ignore all the legitimate corporations that do inhumane testing on animals*.

 

[Lanrutcon]

Sometimes it's so obvious our species is a fucking failure.

It's banned in the EU and just about no US companies still do this , guess which country it's allowed ?

Companies from the EU and US still test on animals they just do in China.

Is that better?

 

[GermanZepp]

Makes me sick. Sometimes I wish humans just became extinct and leave the planet alone.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

I feel like crying. This is fucked up, irrespective of country. Those poor animals, horrible way to go out.

 

[nush]

Pretty sad.

It's cheap and easy, often the buyers don't have any idea how to look after the animal they brought, it's just "Cute"and a plaything for children usually.

 

[Super Mario]

Waiting for the party of common fucking decency to condemn this since condemnation is all the rage.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Absolutely horrifying. I drove a long way to pick up my kids. I refuse to buy any animal online.

 

[bender]

Time to go hug my pup.

 

[King of Foxes]

Fuck China as always.

That shitty shop rustle me jimmy
