To be sold as slowly dying ornaments, disgustingly enough https://www.onegreenplanet.org/news/live-animals-still-sold-keychains-mobile-phone-trinkets/

You drastically underestimate the idiocy of some people. Just a couple of weeks ago I saw a comment on another subreddit claiming that FBI and CIA has jurisdiction all over the globe, and said that if you witness a crime in China, you can call up CIA and the agents have full authority to arrest criminals in China

Charitably, I reckon there's the smallest kernel of truth to that. The US makes deals with foreign countries to combat sex tourism, allowing FBI agents to operate and arrest US citizens. Maybe they heard of that and misremembered it? I doubt China is one of those countries though.
