Betta Fish Awareness T-shirt Project

[bryanacute]

Ummm........ Maybe this: Have a betta in a SMALL little cup and draw the betta freezing cold and behind like jail bars. Say "Bettas are living things to! Treat them with respect like you would for another creature."

I think on the front of the shirt have a betta in a tiny bowl then on the back have the following

I am not a fish...
I am a living breathing creature who has a personality
I am not a decoration...
I am an animal like you
I am not a pet...
I am a family member
I am a betta and am abused my most owners
Let me show you my true beauty
Give me a loveing home
Do your research so you can let me shine like I am suppose too
Flourish like I was created too
And be loved like I always wanted too
Because I am a betta

Yes I just made that up off the top of my head XD

I am really liking the sentence using
"I am not a decoration"
"Let me be loved like I desire to be"

Now either after these sentences, I want to go with either something dealing with the fish showing its true beauty or being healthier, OR something about its natural habitat/its requirements but very poem-like. I love your ideas the most so far, you help me a ton! :D

Maybe a calendar in the back ground with really spaced out feeding days and the betta feeding the human leftovers of some sort like a bone with barely any meat on it. Just ideas I think will add to the power

You gave me the idea of possible having a drawing of a thermometer on the shirt with the proper temperature requirement! That's easy and simple~! <3 :D thanks!

Let me know if you have any poetic quotes to go along with what i'm saying :D

[Little Leaf]

you could write on the back:

"Bettas are like you. Treat them like family" and then draw a small heart at the end of the sentence?

I'm trying so hard to help ;-;
