Shocking live gold-fish Beijing Olympic souvenir

The Telegraph have found live gold-fish Beijing Olympic key chains being sold in the city of Qingdao, where the sailing events will be held.

The “unofficial” Olympic souvenir features the Beijing Olympic mascot Huanhuan. The RSPCA have slammed the souvenirs saying:

“The fish would have little oxygen available and it would be impossible to feed the fish. The fish would survive just a few hours, and would be lucky to make it from the manufacturers to the point of sale.

This product shows a shocking lack of respect for a living thing and should be withdrawn from sale.

We are shocked and appalled. It is a gimmick and shows no respect for the animals at all.”
