运输受阻大量宠物死在包裹内 中国网民冀停止网购宠物！
中国河南漯河市召陵区的一家物流园区，数千只宠物包裹遭倾倒弃置，其中大部分宠物已死亡！
事后有动物保护人士到现场进行查看，发现很多动物已经死亡，并对已呈奄奄一息的动物进行急救，更呼吁民众不要透过网络购买宠物，避免悲剧重演。
据大陆媒体综合报导，上周二（9月22日）有网民爆料，被送往安徽的大量宠物，包括有兔子、猫、狗和荷兰猪。因种种原因，载送这些宠物的车辆被迫滞留在漯河。漯河当时也有数日雨天，导致昼夜温差很大，大部分动物又缺氧、缺水和缺量而大量死亡。而死亡的动物，无论是商家或养殖基地都不愿意接受。
有动物保护志工人士在接获通报后，到现场发现大批快递包装的宠物，因有宠物已经死亡，现场尸臭熏天。他们急忙将车内上存活的动物救出，经过清点明确包存活的动物不到包裹的三分之一，只有1074只，包括200只兔子、20只猫和狗，已被热心的民众领养。就连该物流公司的职员们见状也于心不忍，纷纷自掏腰包，找地方找人照顾这些小动物。

快递公司声称被冒用
基于被遗弃的部分包裹上贴有韵达快递公司的面单，该快递公司也被召见以参与调查。快递公司相关负责人于9月30日指出，公司快递服务网点之前的客户预留面单被他人冒用，而该公司是不允许运输动物的。目前，韵达总部仍对有关事件的具体情况进行进一步的调查和了解。

车辆司机未经批准 半夜到物流园卸货！
据《新京报》报导，漯河召陵区商务局副局长杨爱华指出，宠物快递分别来自江苏徐州和河南商丘，运输车辆抵达河南后，在郑州和楼和的中转站被揭发载有活体动物，因此拒绝接收。而车辆司机在没有获得批准之下，半夜将这批快递在漯河东兴物流园卸货。
中国《邮政法实施细则》有明确规定，禁止快递行业运送活体动物，但是仍然有不少店铺进行活体宠物售卖，还提供包邮服务。
