In China, people were caught trying to sell dogs and cats in a parcel delivery in a'random box' method.
According to the Hong Kong South China Morning Post, activists at an animal rescue center in Chengdu in Sichuan City have accused authorities of finding that employees at the courier Jungtong packed 156 dogs and cats into small boxes each and then loaded them into a truck.
Chengdu City Post Office also launched an investigation into the case.
Reportedly, plastic boxes containing dogs and cats were surrounded by plastic wrap, making it difficult for animals to breathe, and at the time of discovery, four were already dead.
"If the truck doors were closed, the animals would have suffocated and all died," said Chun Yulian, head of the rescue group.
The Chinese Youth Report reported that a pet market in Chengdu attempted to sell these animals in a random box manner on the Internet.
The newspaper said that random boxes that don't know which animals are contained are sold at a price of about 20-30 yuan and about 3,400-5,200 won in our money.
In China, random boxes have become very popular among younger consumers in recent years.
Figure maker Pop Mart is a representative company that caused the random box craze in China.
However, for the fun of checking what's inside, many Chinese are outraged by the news that a living animal was placed in a courier box that couldn't breathe properly.
One user lamented Weibo, saying, "The seller and the courier are both crazy," and "Is they conscience?"
In October of last year, more than 5,000 pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and hamsters, were found dead in a delivery box in a distribution warehouse in Henan Province, China.
