Petco - stop selling baby bettas!

Post by LilGreenPuffer »

Please sign and share my petition! Petco is selling "baby bettas," and this is even worse than their usual betta standards. They say that these bettas need basically the same care as adult bettas (which is disgusting to begin with), but in reality, they will die very quickly without tiny pieces of high-protein frozen or live food, stable warm temperatures, VERY clean water, and space.

"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."
