Is anything being done about the way that bettas are handled in the pet industry? It is so sad to see them suffering and dying in Petsmart and Walmart and Petco and others, in those tiny, disgusting little cups.
If there is a group working to stop this dreadful treatment of these beautiful fish, I would like to know about it and add my name to the list, and find out some way to stop this terrible situation. I am so happy I rescued my little Charlie from Petco, and he is such a sweetie, but so many others are not so lucky. I know it is hard to keep them, since you need nearly a whole tank for one fish, but a little 5 gallon is plenty. They should stop breeding so many that just suffer and die. Often, even if they are taken home, they end up in a small bowl at the bottom of a plant with no filtration or air until they suffocate and die. How very sad!
