According to a report from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsflare.com\/video\/765510\/chinese-motorist-turns-car-hood-into-fish-tank-diy-aquarium-sparks-safety-concerns\">News Flare<\/a>, the explanation offered is just as unexpected as the modification itself: the owner of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2022\/03\/li-auto-l9-is-a-chinese-phev-with-premium-features-124-mile-ev-range\/\">the L9<\/a> reportedly went fishing one day, forgot to bring a container, and decided the hood would serve as an impromptu holding tank, leading to what you see here.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it was a joke or a genuine attempt to solve a problem, the result has drawn a mix of disgust and criticism online.<\/p>\n<p>While the owner appears rather proud of his creation, the result is undeniably cruel. The fish were likely caught with the intention of being killed and perhaps eaten by the fisherman, but instead, they&rsquo;ve been left to live out their final moments in a shallow, improvised tank, on full display for the world to see, as if they&rsquo;re props or circus animals.<\/p>\n<p>There&rsquo;s no word on how long the fish were trapped on the vehicle&rsquo;s hood, but traffic police were reportedly called to the scene and determined that the modification turning the SUV into an aquarium was illegal, and the car couldn&rsquo;t be driven on the road in this state.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The owner of a Li Auto L9 created a makeshift [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":562,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-offbeat"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/klemtravalos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/klemtravalos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/klemtravalos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/klemtravalos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/klemtravalos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=560"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/klemtravalos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":563,"href":"https:\/\/klemtravalos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560\/revisions\/563"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/klemtravalos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/562"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/klemtravalos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/klemtravalos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/klemtravalos.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
