In Hangzhou, China, live crabs are being sold in vending machines. It's not right that these sea creatures are stuffed in a machine!

Dear Indra,

From August to October, hairy crabs are all the rage in China. In an attempt to capitalize on the crab frenzy, crab shop owners in Hangzhou have opened self-service vending machines full of live hairy crabs for after-hours sales.

Subjecting crabs to a vending machine holding cell until they become dinner is cruel. Urge China to shut down all vending machines with live crabs!

The vending machines have become more of a marketing stunt than a sales tool, with people ogling the crabs without buying them. This ploy has resulted in a high mortality rate for the crabs and a huge amount of food waste.

These crab vending machines are a ridiculous stunt that unnecessarily punishes crabs. Sign the petition: Stop crabs from being stuffed into vending machines in China!
