Many Betas will never see a day beyond their tiny cup at pet shops. They have poor living conditions, and they often get Fin Rot, where their fins rot off. In the next stage, it turns into Body Rot, and you can probably guess what that is. The betas often have multiple deseases, and they often die.
If you would like to get a Beta, please look on Chraigslist or other sites for one. Those Betas do not have any deseases, and are well kept for. Be sure to have a 5 gallon tank or more to house them.
Demand that PetSmart and PetCo stop selling Betas!
To the CEO of Petsmart and PetCo,
Me and 10,000 other people demand that the selling of Betas is banned. They are kept in small, cruel containers. They often develop Fin Rot and Body Rot and die in their cups. When people buy them, they often have a disease, and they die. We demand that Betas do not continue to be sold in pet facilities. Thank you for hearing our voice and we hope that you consider this.
Sincerely, Sebastian Chokka+10,000 others
