The cries of young animals emanate from numerous identically packed courier boxes.
The box contains live dogs and cats.
One dog, barely hung out, drinks water in a hurry.
On the 3rd, people trying to transport dogs and cats were caught in front of a delivery warehouse in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, China.
All 160 were found, of which 4 were dead.

Animals were scheduled to be sent to various places in China, including Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
Animal rescue organizations and local media believe that it is likely to be a so-called'random box' containing random products.

China, Random Box began to gain popularity as a model doll in 2019 and expanded to various fields such as cosmetics, clothing, and food.
Later, in some online shopping malls, people who sold pets in random boxes at low prices appeared, and animals were sent by courier.
Although it is forbidden to trade live animals by courier other than special transport in China, it is implicitly using low-cost courier services.
In September of last year, in Henan Province, over 4,000 pets, including dogs, cats, and rabbits, were found dead in a delivery box.
The incident is pouring criticism on dealers and courier companies, and voices are growing criticizing the trend of random box craze and neglect of life.
