Cruel, or just stupid?

I'm at a coffee shop right now, talking to people about fish. The two college-aged girls behind the counter are bouncing with joy while telling the following story: A friend moved to another state, and left them her male Betta. They proceeded to constantly hold a mirror up to the tank to watch him flip out. It was "totally cool" until he lost control of one side of his body and couldn't really swim anymore. So they flushed him down the toilet. "It was awesome".

And they're talking about wanting to set up a large saltwater tank...

God help us.
 
Both. I'd tell them to use their colledge money and buy some brains before you called animal rights, if they'll respond to your case.
 
Good for the local LFS.
 
Its an example of cruelty born of ignorance, stupidity and a total lack of appreciation of the worth of life.
 
Trust me 90% of people out there or possibly even more don't care about fish as much as we do in this forum.
 
WOW. My friend did that once. Hes not my friend anymore.
