Some amusing photos of livestocks being transported rather unusually, if not unsafely, by a family supposedly returning from a Chinese holiday has gone viral in China.
In the viral photo captured by another motorist, a chicken can be seen taped on top of the gray car’s trunk while two ducks were hanging separately from a sack inserted between the opening to keep them from falling.
The driver and his family are said to be returning home after spending the Spring Festival holiday someplace else in Guangdong province in China.
The pictures quickly draws a few chuckles from Chinese netizens, as well as criticisms from others.
“Won’t the birds lose all their feathers after the highway trip?” one commenter wrote on Facebook page of People’s Daily Online.
“Some passengers were not buckled up!” added another.
But others were not laughing; slamming the driver for supposedly treating the animals harshly.

“Cruelty to these birds. That’s not the safe way to transport live animals by exposing them to risk of traffic accidents and adverse weather conditions without shelter or water,” one said; obviously not amused with the scene.
But some argued there is nothing wrong with the way the animals are treated for they are destined to be slaughtered anyway.
“All animals are destined to slaughter. They are all meat to eat, why the outburst on the driver?” wrote one netizen.
The viral photos also drove some users to search the internet for similar amusing mode of transporting livestocks in China.
One of the photos shared to poke fun at the viral post showed seven chickens inside a bag tied to a wooden stick hanging from the back of a van; while another showed around five chickens which were also put inside a sack and inserted between the trunk’s door of a white sedan.
