Walmart Stop Selling the Lavaquarium
Target:
Walmart Canada
Sponsored by:
Walmart Canada is featuring and selling this lava lamp/ aquarium in it's stores this fall. It is designed especially for Betta fish. There is a myth that Betta fish don't need room to move as they are not overly active in captivity. But the truth according to experts is that Betta fish needs the same 30 - 40 gallons as do all other pet fish.
The Lavaquarium, with it's harsh ever changing lighting and extremely small size is nothing more than a torture chamber for fish. The fish cannot move in any direction and with no room for plants or other distraction it would make a miserable home for any pet .
I would like to have this cruel tortourous product removed from the shelves of Walmart permanently, thus sparing any fish to have to spend their lives incased in this lava nightmare.

We the undersigned would like to ask that the Lavaquarium please be removed from your shelves immediately. This horribly cruel container does not meet what are humane requirements for housing fish. Although there is a myth that is currently prevalent that Betta Fsih need no room to move because they are not particularily active in captivity, the truth is according to experts that Betta Fish need the same 30- 40 gallon tanks as all other fish do.
This lamp with it's harsh lighting, extremely small size would create a miserable home for any fish and because the fish is not even able to turn around or move in any direction would have to live in a state of inertia and boredom .
This product is essentially a torture chamber for fish and should be removed as quickly as possible from all your stores, there by saving any fish the misery of life inside one of these small contraptions.
Thank you.

Why do people think that any animal, including fish, does not suffer when illtreated? “He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.” -- Immanuel Kant "The time is always right to do what is right" - Martin Luther King, Jr.

How do you think a fish will live in these conditions. It will surely die.

Fish are living creatures, and no living creature deserves such a life. Wal-Mart's finances will not be hurt if they discontinue this "product". And honestly, does Wal-Mart really want more bad publicity?

Another sick invention that needs to be taken off the market.

I hear people say its just a fish, but its a living breathing creature and deserves better. I have been to WalMart on several occasions and have seen these fish in small plastic containers stacked ontop of each other, not getting any air flow. My daughter and I will unstack each container so the fish can get air. WalMart's daily income would not be effected if they stopped selling fish. I feel the same way about the lobster they sell. I sent a letter to the head of Walwart asking them to stop selling them. These poor lobster are bound at their claws and are starved until they are sold and dropped into boiling water to be eaten. I received no response. I limit my business with Walmart.
