Bettas in ~400mL scummy water...
I was buying some pet items from WalMart the other day and happened across a portion of one aisle where they keep Bettas. They basically store them in tiny tupperware containers partially filled with what looks like used bath water and a large portion of the fish were dead. I wonder if they even feed them?
Has anyone else seen this? This was just so awful, I wrote them a letter. What makes them think they can treat a living, respiring animal this way? Even the plants in the green house are better cared for. Shame on you, WalMart.

Please call your local ASPCA. I did this once when a pet store kept bettas in sealed sandwich bags on the counter.

In the wild Bettas live in pockets of digusting mucky water. The fish can now take oxygen above water. In captivity they should have a better life. At the very least food.

Shame on me for not thinking to contact the ASPCA in the first place. Had it been a mammal, I wouldn't have given it a second thought.
They told me they would look into it, but couldn't tell me what they would be able to do. I finally get a day off work tomorrow, er, I mean today so I will nag them about it then to see what came of my complaint.
