today i went to look for my first betta all so happy and excited i went into a shop full of bettas but they were mostly dead half of em had fin rot and atleast 20 have sbd and you won't even guess the stores name "Pets' PARADISE!!!!"
If i came acrosss a store like that id askwether they were treating the tanks and iff not id just start opening all teh treatment stuff and putting it in
yeah i would too, the lady working there also came up to me and ask me if i wanted to buy any and i thought "can't you see there all sick' and she just shakes the tanks right in front of the lamp so they would move but they didnt
UGH i hate people who don't take care of that stuff. it makes me angry to think that they can just open a store to make profit while the lives of many fishes struggle to survive to the next day. it's already bad enough that some customers come in and harass the fishes in the first place, at least the owner/employees should make up for it. i know b/c i've worked at a pet store. ugh
That's disgusting! I would've told them off. The fact that the other fish were well cared for just exemplifies the point that people view bettas as just disposable pets...they probably didn't even notice that anything was wrong and just thought that they were supposed to look like that
Took my son to SanDiego this last weekend and took him to an outdoor mall where a parrot rescuer takes donations. He brings a bunch of his friendliest birds and lets people hold them and take pictures with them. My Boo was thrilled and not afraid at all- even of the big cockatoo. But a lot of the birds had signs of neglect from their previous owners- bald patches from the stress. It was so sad. Prob is people buy them without knowing how much work it is to keep them- and they live like 60 years. So sad. So this guy rescues unwanted parrots of all kinds- he has more than 25. He rehomes them when he can so he can get more.
yeah my friend had bird once , he really liked it but then it flew away and when he went to look for it he found it with bald patches and it couldnt fly he didnt know what to do
