    Complain - in the form of a written letter, which you will CC to your town's Animal Control officer, and the local newspaper. You are not powerless, speak up!

    That is horrible! I agree with what Karen said, I'd complain about it. We just got a new Walmart (opened on Wednesday) and they have fish there, its only one of two places in town that sell fish. Anyways, the cups there are huge compared to what I have seen for other Betta's. I'm glad I don't have anything to complain about...yet.

    That really is horrible! I hate that Walmart can sell fish! Luckily, the one by my isn't too bad. (The cups aren't too small and they are pretty clean)

    I've heard that Walmart doesn't put the bettas in those cups, they are shipped to the store like that. So really the distributor is to blame for the small cups.

    I know I hate people who have no brains or respect for fish.Fish are living things they are pets.Some people i think don't think of them as pets.

    Poor bettas. No store should be allowed to sell bettas unless they are in the proper enviorment. They really should do something about this!

    Poor bettas... our wal-mart doesn't sell any fish, and I'm glad! I agree that you should take some action to try to help the poor little guys.
    I'm happy with our Petco, they've almost doubled the size of the cup that the bettas are in.

    I guess I'll have to put together a complaint. I'm gonna add in there that they shouldn't dye the water either. If anything that's a legitimate complaint as customers can't see the fish properly.
