- Thread starter fishmamma
- Start date
Regardless of anyone who thinks that I should have just walked on by... that's just not me ... I know, for even the smallest difference that it made, that by taking a few minutes to move them was me... And I'll continue doing what I do, YO!!! lol Thanks guys !!
I didn't know Walmart sold Betta's in cups. But its been along time since I stopped to look at the fish when I'm in Walmart
i hate seeing those poor guys stuck in a little cup... i swear its just to guilt you into buying one (which i've done...)

Vigilante? lol. This was the equivalent of picking up a carton of eggs someone left next to the cereal and putting it back in the refrigerated section. There was nothing wrong with doing it herself. It's the same thing the employee is going to do anyway. What are they going to do, get mad at her for protecting their inventory from further damage?
If Wal-mart had adequate, appropriate oversight over its fish section, then customers wouldn't have the opportunity to dump multiple bettas into the same cups...or dump them into different ones.
Selling live animals requires a level of training and supervision greater than, say, selling shoddy clothing or housewares. Of course, the largest corporation in the world can't afford to properly care for the animals that it sells. So the animals suffer.
I quit shopping at Wal-Mart altogether several years ago. I don't like their record in terms of treating employees, including returning veterans, poorly (and in many cases, illegally). I don't like the experience of shopping in their stores. And I don't like how they treat the animals that they sell. If they cared to do better, they easily could. But they don't.
Live fish are a loss leader for Wal-Mart. The only way to make an impact is to stop shopping there altogether. And let company leadership know why.
