Betta Fish Deserve Better

I think it's a sad, sad thing when a nine-year old can take better care of his fish, rather than a huge, monopolized company that has the man-power AND the money to back them up.

I'm against Wal-Mart keeping any sort of animal - they just aren't capable of doing so. I've gone to visit a Wal-Mart on two separate occasions, and the conditions of their fish were horrible.


Just because they aren't fluffy, or can do cool tricks doesn't make a fish any less of any animal. Just because they can't yelp in pain, doesn't mean people have to treat them any less.


If you are to get a fish, please research before you buy! Goldfish AREN'T meant to be in little tiny bowls. They are messy, messy fish that need at least 10 gallons PER fish, and contrary to popular belief - betta fish don't ALWAYS live in little mud puddles. They are seen swimming in rice paddies, and sluggish, slow moving rivers - and the last time I checked, both bodies of water had a lot more water content than what you can find in a darn cup.

You don't believe me? I'd be more than happy to prove you wrong. I feel like I'm up here preaching, but I'm darn tired of the conditions I see betta fish in.


Again.


Research. Then buy.

If you do happen to use this stamp, just note me - I'd love to see it. :3

Icky-sick.

Journal Entry: Fri Nov 20, 2009, 9:03 AM



Alan and I went to go pick up my older brother from the bus station. He's visiting from Georgia, where he lives with his friend. I could tell that he was sick, but I thought it was an illness similar to what I had a few weeks prior - the flu. However, lo and behold two days after I visit my parent's house - and I'm sick. . . AGAIN.

A cold. Screw it all. I don't think it's going to last too much longer. And I shouldn't complain, it hasn't been THAT bad. But when you compliment it with the gallbladder attack I had the other night, plus the TWO WEEKS I was sick with the flu . . . I just want to stop being sick.


. . . I am sad that I can't go out with A. today. You see, he has to do his order at where he works - then has to go over to his co-worker's house to fix his wireless router. But since I'm sick, I have to stay home - even if it's JUST a cold.

I love what you said about the Betta Fish. I feel the same. I don't think Wal-mart should carry any living animal. Actually, I think Wal-mart is monopolizing more then they should. They should give the little businesses a chance.
