I KNOW!! I've seen bettas in tiny little jars at stores before, but Wal Mart is by far the WORST!!! I was there getting some filters for my tank and I almost started crying when I saw them. My mom has seen them as well. She was so disgusted she wrote a nasty letter to the supervisor of all the local Wal Marts. Yea, Go Mom! But like zippy-kat said, it'll take much more than a complaint to make them come to their senses...
