Everything about this is just so wrong

You thought turtles in bags was disgusting and horiffic? How about their need for BEAR BILE? Ya let's get into an example of TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE not for the faint of heart)

"One of the most popular remedies is derived from the the so-called “bile bear”, whose plight is something out of a torture porn horror movie. The animals are relegated to tiny metal “crush cages” ... Their claws are hacked off and their teeth are sawed down to the gumline, rendering them unable to defend themselves. Then a hole is opened in the bear’s abdomen, where a catheter is inserted to extract bile (a substance which helps the body to digest fats). The animal is forced to wear an iron vest to keep it from removing the line. Bear bile has been described as a cure-all" https://listverse.com/2013/06/06/10-bizarre-aspects-of-chinese-culture/

So turtle keychains aren't that bad I guess
