hey,all. i'm sick and tired of seeing wal-mart and there horrible tanks of disease and suffering. why doesn't anyone start a boycott or a protest of something? why doesn't anyone try taking legal action? as a citizen, animal lover, and anti-cruelty of any kind person, I want to take action. we managed to stop the sale of those dam "water babies" things, now we must take this horror down. who's with me!?
 
So many people depend on walmart now that it has depleted the number of mom and pop stores. For most places, it's the primary grocery and it's just easier to get stuff while you are out. Even if this WHOLE forum boycotted walmart, they wouldn't notice because the size of their income.
 
i agree. besides, even if AC members boycotted the live fish, there are plenty of idiots out there who don't know or dont' care for better who will keep buying up Walmart fish because they think "fish don't live more than a week." but you know those people will never be on a forum like this because they just don't care.
 
we dont go there anyway. my mom hates the place because they have junky producs and dispicable service, not to mention their store is a complete dump. their fishtanks are cespools full of fungus, ich and dropsy. its a darn cry to get shut down.

i wouldnt be caught dead in a store like that anyway

Wal-mart isnt all that bad. I buy a lot of goods there. Ya they shouldnt sell fish but some LFS shouldnt either. Theres one near me with awefull tanks. Also I have seen some upstanding wal-mart fish departments as well. Also belive me if enough people do not purchase fish at wal-mart they will take out the tanks it just takes a large number of people on a local level to do it. They took them out of our wal-mart cause there is a petco next door who's tanks always looked 200x's better so no one bought fish from them when they could go next door.

1. They wouldn't care; losing 500 customers is nothing to them.
2. Many people on the forum have no other choice but WalMart to buy their fish
 
well, i guess it also depends on which employees they have in there on that day. some seem to know something, others like to put a lone tiger barb in a tank full of angels. one more reason they shouldn't sell fish....
