im glad they have a "contact us" option

and i quote myself here

"your site is <mod edit> stupid.... these fish are not bread to fight, just because their called "Siamese Fighting Fish" which isnt even thier real name by the way (Betta splendens) they only fight their own kind and dont even bother with other fish.

It's illegal to fight dogs so im guessing its illegal to fight fish and im pretty sure someone will be around to report you to a government agency about animal cruelty or inhumane treatment, i know i would if i knew any.

have fun rotting in hell

im pretty sure half the members on here are going to send hate mail

It's sick, but not at all shocking. There's TFF members who fight their bettas, but I'm not going there.

 

[stewartsthebest]

i think there should be a law against that like there is against fighting pitbulls and cocks (male chickens )

Actually they were bred for fighting...

It started in Siam some 150 years ago. The Siamese people would fight bettas, and hence the first form of betta madness was born: People would wager everything they owned, even their families! These betta fights were popular, so much so that the King of Siam decided to license them and to collect on them as well.

- Quote from bettatalk.com

Not that I agree with it, don't get me wrong. It was a way/custom for those people. Just think though, if that hadn't occurred, would we have the darlings that we have now? Just thought I'd inform.

Also, please let me know if I am incorrect.

You are right tekknocolor but I still think the fighting of any animals is wrong.

Actually it's not illegal in the United States (or anywhere that I'm aware of). So there won't be any government agency knocking on his door. Instead all he is getting is a bunch of free advertisement here, and sometimes even bad adverstisment is "good" for business unfortunately

Oh, I totally agree, but if you think about it... wouldn't they be doing it in nature anyways? I guess there it's because they have to survive, but wouldn't they be doing the same in a "ring"? I'm not trying to justify it.

I think it is horrible though. Poor bettas.

I'm not condoning fighting so everybody chill. But....bettas love to fight. They looove it, they yearn for it, it's crazy. Watching betta fry grow is a trip because even as young as 2 weeks they'll hold the stare of their sibling like "You want a piece of me? I didn't think so" and as young as 4 weeks they begin acting on the stares, I've had to break up many a scuffle and neither betta looks relieved to be saved from the fight, they actually look frustrated and disappointed

 

[NinjaSmurf]

I'm with you Wuv, I've seen dogs get into fights before (not set up ones, just your average loose neighbor dog who gets all high and mighty on your dog kinda thing) but they don't seem near as pissed as bettas... even the females can be total killers, of each other and the males. Just look how many posts there are of peoples bettas who jumped the divider just to get a piece of the one next door I've read that site before and they just talk out of their butts for the most part anyways, you'd think they were talking about high performance muscle cars or something...

at least they take angry concerns like grown ups

Hi,

I appreciate your "deep concern" about the alleged abuse of Siamese Fighting
Fish.

You know something - I am not going to drag myself to your low-life level by
resorting to the use of mono-syllabic Anglo-Saxon swear words (if you
understand what I'm saying). Sanctimonious morons like you should direct your
excess time and frustrations at going after more pressing causes that plague
this world of ours - a world that is screwed up by imbeciles like your goodself!

A true despicable Internet coward - that's what you are. Hide behind the shield
of cover that this vehicle offers self-styled crusaders like you!

1 swear word and im a potty mouth )
