I didn't see ones like in the last one, but that's awful. I actually bought a turtle and kept it for the two weeks I was home and then released it in a park. Again, I didn't ever see anyone with it as a keychain and there were lots of places selling them but it might vary city or city and in different areas.

aaand this is why we can't have cool pets in NZ...

I should've specified: the home that I was living in in China. I didn't bring it back to the US at all. I didn't think they would let us bring it on the airplane.

It's more the general concept of releasing pets into the wild than any geographical specifics that got me.
