A cute little cartoon fish is one of the mascots for the Beijing Olympics.
But this sick tourist trinket shows a shocking contempt for the creatures – with a live goldfish stuffed into a tiny plastic bag on a keyring.
The bag is sealed so there is only enough oxygen to last for a few hours at the most. Then the goldfish will simply suffocate.
The keyrings – aimed predominantly at children – are already selling fast in markets in Qingdao, the city that will host the sailing events for this summer’s Games.

I hadn't heard this one but it doesn't surprise me. I've always loved the Olympics, but I just don't think I can bring myself to ignore all that is going on in China.
Hi,
It is so cruel...and sinful.. Can anyone imagine we ourselves being kill like that just for fun for somebody else.... Not worth it to have fun with sport by killing a living creatures....
Cheers,

Yeah I've read about this on another blog as well. Can't believe it. Poor little goldfish, as mentioned they only have a few hours of oxygen and that's it.

The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought you have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
