Piles of Pets

One great thing I’ve seen a lot this spring in Beijing is people selling pets on the sidewalk. First, I saw tiny rabbits being sold outside of McDonalds. Then I saw more tiny rabbits being sold on a bar street in Sanlitun on a Friday night. Then one day I’m heading into the subway after class and a lady is selling 3 adorable little kittens in a bowl in the subway entrance. That same day I saw someone selling puppies out of a cart on the sidewalk. In TianJin last weekend, I saw this pile of pets on the sidewalk, followed by a large bowel of turtles. I’m sure one could find some problems with this style of pet-selling, but it sure makes my day when I get to see it.
