In the US, it’s illegal in all 50 states to sell a baby turtle to the public in connection with a business. Most of the turtles in the picture are red-eared sliders, which are native to the US. Releasing them “to the wild” outside of the US (and even in some parts of the US) is likely to create bad karma, as these turtles can cause ecological havoc when released to where they are not native. They are considered an invasive pest in many parts of the world.

I think the animal is bought and released, to bring good karma.

Thanks for ID Shuo! What an interesting plant but definitely not something I’d want in my home.

Last night just before midnight the flower market packed up and this morning the street cleaners tidied everything up.

It’s definitely illegal in the UK, but in China I doubt it. The jury is still open on the fruits – could possibly be kiwi’s although I can’t seem to find any pics like the ones I saw. I think they’re probably too small to be melons but I could be wrong!

Crazy stuff on sale! Is selling baby turtles on the street even legal?
I don’t know what those fruits are, but I’d guess either yellow kiwis or some sort of melon.
