PUFFER CORPS: The answer to the WALMART PUFFER issue.

[PufferCorps]

Hi there!

Happy to meet you! Thank you for your interest in the plight of Puffer Fish suffering in Walmart's across the nation.

My underground network of supporters have been very effective in motivating the party's responsible for maintenance. They are making much needed improvements, by removing puffers from inventory, and maintaining better water quality for the well being of all fish at Walmart.

Please , if your fish are experiencing a dire situation at your local Walmart, let me know if you, or anyone you know, need my assistance communicating with Walmart management.
I promise you, they really are people too, and will respond to the issue. Many just are oblivious just because they have so much to do.

Thanks!

A sea might be seperating me from this lol

They should stop selling fish overall. The problem is that Walmart doesn't take care of any fish they sell, not just puffers.

I completely agree.

I see I need to explain my goal, and the whole process I've gone trough, to help others understand where we stand on the Walmart Live Fish sales issue.

Please sign my petition, which is more of an Awareness campaign, to inform people about how and why Walmart sells fish.

This is just a glimpse of the entire sordid mess. I can provide documents to prove what I say is true. So true that the Vice President of Quality Pets Inc stepped up to tell me to cease and desist, but suddenly stopped communication with me when he saw how much i knew about their company.
But more about that another time.

Because so many other problems, besides the Puffers plight, exist that endanger the health of all the fish at Walmart, it was necessary to extend the Puffer campaign to include overseeing the management of the display tanks.
Every week I get emails from individuals asking me to help the fish at their stores. Not just Walmart, but Pet Club and others, and I tell them how they can make real and enduring change. Once the volunteer has accepted the oath of Puffer Ranger, they have total control and responsibility of removing Puffs, tank surveillance, and face to face with managers. So far this strategy has won us 100% success and more at every turn.
For example while canvassing, I had tremendously great luck when I found an anonymous sympathizer within the corporate infrastructure. Each week I compile a list of every Walmart that has problem tanks. When concerned Walmart customers reach out to me for help, their store is added to the list which goes directly to the party's responsible for tank maintenance. We basically cut out the middle man.
Everyone interested in helping the fish is inducted into the Corps. Being a Puffer Ranger is nothing more than being a friendly nuisance, and keeping Walmart on their toes.

Live fish are integral to the sale of Walmart's exclusive brands Aqua Tech and Aqua Culture There are many other company's namely Tetra Inc, and Marineland, who are involved in the manufacture. Its a long road ahead, but with more and more getting Puffer Awareness, the closer we get to closing the tanks down, and stopping the suffering forever.

Hey check this out!

I lucked out a few weeks ago when I had a stalker on my YouTube channel who claimed to be in Walmarts marketing department. He wants me to remove my Walmart essay from Consumer Affairs website, and was going to personally see that puffers were sent to 80 new Walmart stores just to spite me.
I wasnt sure exactly what I had here since he took the time and energy to track me to my Youtube channel, but Im used to trolls, and didnt get too worried. I DID send a signature required letter to Walmart human relations dept informing them of their loose cannon.

That legal looking Puffer Corps letter head I whipped up got their attention, couse I got a reply right away from their Global Ethics Team who are investigating the guy. I seized the chance, jammed my foot in the door, and sent them my Puffer Rescue Shelter Journal and photo album.
They replied THE SAME DAY, which Walmart NEVER does, sayin its in the hands of the Marketing Team.

So the moral of the story is:
Don't be a Dick, or the dick you be, may sneak up and bite you in the ass.

Do you belong to any hobbyist clubs? I can send you some Puffer propaganda to spread around at you next meeting.
