Trips over only for dozens of hermit crabs to fall out of my pockets
Spontaneous carcinization at this time of year, that time of day, in that part of Japan, localized entirely within their luggage?
Can I see it?
No.
Goddamit they’re always doing that. Pilfering plants and animals all around the world.
They need boner pills and are willing to grind up all kinds of shit to make them.
Boner pills became widespread in China in early 00s and can be bought online very easily though afaik there’s no credible evidence that it reduced poaching :(
It seems to be a stupid cultural status symbol but the association that it’s for broken peepee still helps the cause imo. These people are disgusting losers that deserve no sympathy.
SEA is full of stories like this - no animal is safe from Chinese poaching from crabs to lemurs. There’s seriously something incredibly wrong with Chinese animal culture and I’m baffled that it still persists in 2025. It’s really fucking disgusting.
What’s the point of all that technology if none of it is spent on educating idiots out of “rhino horn makes peepee bigger” rhetorics.
Not a big fan of Chinese citizens behaving like CIA agents in every nation they go to.
I mean, you hear about the people who do something. You don’t hear about the ones who don’t.
EDIT: Also, hermit crab smuggling and the CIA? What?
You also don’t hear about many (most?) who do and aren’t caught.
How the hell you can capture 160 kg of live crabs and put them alive in six luggages thinking that nobody would smell it?
They weren’t hermits in this case.
They were in fact hermits in a case.
Non-hermit crabs.
