But who wants to merely survive. Lets protect these smart agile fish from swimming in their own pee and being bored to death. Those one cup containers should be changed twice a day but are only cleaned once a week. The fish often die or get burned.

I think the condition these poor creatures are sold and kept in is beyond brutal and cruel. We wouldn't except any other animal being kept in such miserable conditions why should we except it for these poor Betta's?. I for one am going to make sure as many people as possible know of this situation.

Petco and Petsmart should be ashamed of the way they care for an treat the bettas. I just bought (rescued) a betta from Petco, He is sick and I am giving him Lots of TLC. On the little plastic cup it said to feed 2-3 times a week no wander he is sick small cup, dirty water and little food I would be sick too. This is a clear case of neglect and they should be punnished. Just as bad as a puppy farm if you ask me.

They're so sad and lifeless I want to just adopt them all! This is cruelty they need space! While I understand male betta fish cannot be in the same tank, I am sure something can be figured out to accommodate them better. Also, females may be kept together, so there's fewer cups and early deaths already!

[Signature #42] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/2271070?utm_medium=rss Bettas left in small cups suffer through a deplorable degeneration of health the longer they are exposed to such poor conditions. It also sets a poor example for customers (and employees) who are not duly informed on the proper care of such an animal.
Their life spans are shortened, they require medicating and often die before being sold. Wouldn't it be wiser to furnish your customers with healthy animals rather than seeing them returned in a plastic bag?
Please ban betta cups.
