Wal-Mart fish cruelty petition

Post by LilGreenPuffer »

"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi

I haven't been in a Wal-Mart since I moved out and starting doing my own shopping!

I just wanted to state as a wal-mart associate that Wal-mart is undergoing a phase out of most if not all live fish kept in Wal-mart stores.Thy are taking down most tropical tanks and only keeping goldfish tanks and the lower end stores are doing away with them entirely. This might take awhile and i know most people including me are appauled by how some stores have treated their fish so i just wanted you guys to know that i am for this and in no way trying to stat an argument but trying to give you guys information like so many of you have.I am also not speaking for Wal-mart either i just know what i was told by my manager. The stores are eventually all going to be remodeled and thats when it is suppose to happen some will be sooner then others just depends on how soon the store manager wants to re model since they are basically store governed. But atleast it is in the plans to do so.
