Hello, I am inquiring upon the issue of the terrible living conditions Betta fish endure in Walmart stores. I recently visited a Walmart store and passed by the animal section. I saw 15 betta fish in plastic containers with water filled up halfway and with completely orange water, barely visible. I had to contact an employee and stacked up the entire sink area with sick bettas on top of each other.
I want to share and report this traumatic encounter I had with this unacceptable treatment towards live fish. I am disappointed in the way Walmart Corporation is treating live animals without the proper research and sanitary care. I would like to request Walmart to please research the necessary water changing conditions for live betta fish without the need to create inhumane living conditions for them as they are living beings who require care. I also did not find an employee who specifically was in or monitoring the pet department.
As an Animal lover, I was heartbroken to see this lack of consideration for these live living beings as their lives are a daily struggle to survive and they are suffering from pain. They have feelings exactly like humans do. Please support this cause and share this petition.
Thank you

This is an Urgent matter for these poor and vulnerable animals who are dying daily from the horrific neglect of Walmart and their Lack of Consideration for Living beings. They are not items but living fish who die in the most horrible way, rotting ALIVE in terrible water conditions and endure a slow and painful death from constant suffering. Thank you
