I went to walmart yesterday, and in the fish section, there were 10 bettas, 8 of which were DEAD! :cry: How could they have 8 dead bettas and not even KNOW ABOUT IT? whatever employee was supposed to be in charge of the fish section odviously never bothers to feed the fish or change the water, OR, hasn't even been back there in weeks!
oh, and another time, i saw a one eyed goldfish and another with a big cut in its side! :cry: how DARE they treat innocent fish like that! :evil:

Why didn't you get a manager? Nothing can change unless you bring it to the attention of the management. If they do nothing than go to corporate and report the store. Remember to note the time you were there and the condition of the fish. Pictures also help.

No manager wants corporate to step in so most of them will get their act together if you send them a letter stating you are not happy with the care given to the fish and if you don't see improvement you will report the store. If they do nothing then follow up on your threat and actually report them to corporate (in fact... report the store along with sending the manager a letter). Let them know that you and your friends/family will no longer shop at that store and if conditions don't improve you will be notifying agencies like PITA and the HSUS along with alerting the media to the conditions of the animals at that store.

I once went to a walmart where the betta cups were only filled like 1/4th of the way. the poor fish could hardly move. Then there was this lady who started yelling at an employee and requested to see the manager. Who knew fish would cause such drama? (I was on the angry lady's side though)

My Walmart doesn't have bettas and that's what makes me happy! Happy, because they don't get to torture the poor things!! SHAME ON EVIL WALMARTS

It's like the people working there think there plastic toys in water that you don't need to care about!!!

No one needs to know your age. I used to think people wouldn't listen to a 19 year old but if you take the time to write a letter to the manager and use good words and grammar they would never know you were young. :)

I'm very shy so I hardly ever actually get a manager. What I do is take pictures on my cell phone and then go back home and write a letter.

Most of my walmart's bettas die within a week or 2. =[ Unfortunately they die from being OVER fed. >=[ They put the food RIGHT BESIDE the cups!!!!! Kids feed them CONSTANTLY!!!!! >=[ It makes me so angry!!! Thanks for reminding me that the next time I go up there that I need to bring a sign that says "Do NOT feed the fish!!!!!" uhg. =[

It's a real shame too! I saw a BEAUTIFUL yellow crowntail with black grizzel there and I KNOW he must be dead now. =[

When everything in my life is stable again I intend on rescuing fish from walmart and writing letters to them threatening to get the local PETA group involved. =]

Yeah I've noticed for a while that walmart could care less about their fish. Personally all walmarts should just quit the fish business because obviously they dont know what they are doing and cant care for them.

We should all begin a strike lol.
