Dead puppies and kittens in crates reveal the dark side of China's mystery box craze
CNN
On May 3, Chinese animal rights group Love Home found 156 boxes of months' old puppies and kittens, some of whom were dead. The animals had become victims of a shopping craze sweeping China called "mystery boxes."
As a flashlight rolls over towers of boxes in the back of a delivery truck, tufts of fur can be glimpsed through tiny air holes. Those are the luckier animals — other boxes appear completely taped up. Animal rights group Love Home filmed this raid on May 3 in the central Chinese city of Chengdu, during which it uncovered 156 boxes of months' old puppies and kittens, some of whom were dead.More Related News
