China: live turtles in bags sold as key rings

Published

on



http://www.euronews.com/ Living turtles, fish and salamander in tiny bags of water are being sold in Beijing as key rings for children.

To the horror of animal rights activists, the sale of live animals as trinkets is a growing trend in China.

A vendor at Beijing market said “I sell fifty of these a day!”

“I bought one because my child wanted one”, a mother explained

The bags are so small that the creatures can barely move inside and critics say they are likely to die within weeks.

The price tag is little more than the cost of a few sweets.

Although animal rights groups have highlighted the cruelty of these living toys, there is no law in China preventing their sale.

    Wow they must be suffering not only in the small space but sheer anxiety, no air and the dye. I mean what’s the purpose of this they’re doomed to die with a day or two. Throw it out after? Eat it?

    China is the cruelest place on Earth to animals. The general public has zero empathy even for their fellow humans. A real dystopian culture.

euronews innovation – Bacteria-free eggs thanks to plasma technology

Published

on



Our growing consumption of eggs and egg-products raises the question of how to kill the dangerous bacteria found on the shells.

A new machine developed as part of the EU-backed Eggsterilisation project solves the question in a most spectacular manner.

“We’re working on ways to sterilise eggs using plasma at atmospheric pressure level,” said Project Manager Yago YÑñez.

President Barack Obama has come out swinging on day three of the US government shutdown, laying the blame for the crisis right at the feet of the Republicans. He says their obsession with killing his healthcare reforms is the only thing uniting the party at the moment, and they will sacrifice anything to kill Obamacare.

“The only thing that is keeping the Government shutdown, the only thing preventing people from going back to work… is that speaker John Boehner won’t even let the bill get a yes or no vote, because he doesn’t want to anger the extremists in his own party,” he said.

Boehner knows his Republicans are getting most of the blame right now for the shutdown, but ending it would probably cost him his job as the Tea Party faction would oust him from the Speaker’s chair.

He and his party are gambling on winning the argument over time, by insisting Obamacare is an expensive mistake America can ill afford. But time is at a premium with the vote on raising America’s debt ceiling due in two weeks time.
