Walmart has announced that several stores will end the sale of live fish. They failed to comment much on the matter, but it is estimated that 700 stores at least will end sales. I believe, and I have heard this from several sources, that after receiving many complaints, stores were inspected and told to shape up, and those who failed a surprise reinspection were told to pack up.
The horrible part is that some stores, as described by witnesses, were so bad that to unload the fish stock quickly they just brought in garbage cans and started scooping out the tanks, fish, gravel and all.
The good part, for me at least, is that my local walmarts will still continue with their quality fish supply and good practices. I'd die without an apet supplier in the area.
Kudos to Walmart for making a good decision :D , but evil thoughts for those individuals who thought killing off the fish would be better than a clearence sale :mad: .
