:lol::lol:Wouldn't it be great if the bettas you wanted to rescue where free:-D:-D:-D!I was thinking that if some people who love bettas gave money to help save them (Like give the money to you or who would save some):-D!What do you think?

That is a nice thought.....
but......the more you buy the faster they will replace them- supporting the poor conditions...never ending...the fish will lose and the store will make money.
The faster the fish sell will tell the store that they need to order more fish...no matter how bad we want to save them all....sadly we can't save everyone of them......

You can write to the store main office and complain and every time you are in the store and see fish in poor conditions demand that a manager be called to the department and complain, point out what is wrong and how to correct it.
Offer to write up a care sheet for them to post....

Remember, with complaints often come actions and soon they may stop selling fish and some people have only one store that they can buy fish from.

Last year a "House Bill" was written to end this hobby and no one would be allowed to keep aquariums or tropical fish, thankfully it did not pass and we got to keep our fish and hobby alive.......

I wish we had a way that we could save all the poor neglected fish that are kept in poor conditions. Some store view these fish as nothing more than hardware and just like a glass that falls and breaks-it is marked as a loss and thrown in the trash, sadly live animals in most stores are viewed this way as well...it dies-marked as a loss-thrown in the trash......

Some stores are better than others....

I do wish we could save them all without them making money from it or at least a way to make them take better care of live animals and without an animal rights movement to ban the hobby......

That makes me mad :mad: Who would ban cats and dogs? They don't do any harm to the environment, neither do tropical fish (unless you set them free, but still.)
Hope it never happens, can't imagine myself without my fish and dogs... and all my other pets :S

PETA and the Humane Society of the United States is who, along with other extremist groups. The leaders of both of those groups are working to end all domestic pet ownership.

I agree with OFL, buying fish from places that take poor care of their fish will only perpetuate the cycle. The better way is to fight the store for better care.

The best way to get walmart to stop torturing their fish (not just the bettas) is to get them to stop selling them. The store itself is not equipped to take care of them properly, and they don't make much of an effort to hire people with knowledge. They also don't care whether the fish live or die, something I found out while actually working in the fish section of a walmart in like 2007.
