A graveyard for pets located in a forest in Shenyang, Liaoning province, has been attracting attention.

About 10 animals including a cat, a dog and a chicken are buried under the trees. Anyone can request a tomb for 200 yuan ($29) unless the pet dies from illness.

The idea is meant to help animal lovers feel better about their pets, prevent pollution from carcasses and raise money to save rare animals, according to the Shenyang Wildlife Rescue Association.
