Rescues?

So as I was reading and looking around in the forum I saw posts of “rescues of bettas” and I was wondering how to they are able to get those bettas?

Basically its taking dying or sickly fish home from petstores.
Sometimes we can get them discounted if we talk to the manager about the issues, and on rare occasions you can get them free if they are very seriously ill. Most stores believe they are going to end up losing money on the fish anyways so they might as well make what they can or get rid of it before a customer sees it.

Yeah, aemaki09 is right. My definition of rescuing a betta is saving a sickly betta from the conditions it's in, buying it even at full price if you have to.

Oh I see thanks for clearing that up
