Betta Petition

[Joel]

Ok, Im not sure if many people remember me, but around January/Febuary I made a petition for http/www.bubblegear.8k.com to stop selling there Betta Purses. When I signed up, I forgot to put my whole name, and they took the petition off of the net. I contacted them with my information and today Im happy to say its back online like it used to be. Here's a link: http/www.petitiononline.com/ssbp/petition.html Im asking everyone out there to Please sign this petition and show the beatiful Betta world some respect. I also encourage you to have a link to the petition in your signature so other people are aware of it. Thankyou very much everyone, now lets get Betta purses outta here!

Current Amount Of Signatures: 93
Goal: 1,000

Once we reach 1,000 signatures, (which I know we can do) I will send this petition to Bubble Gear, and we'll see what happens. If nothing happens, then Im going to be forced to take further action involving animal cruelty centers. Thankyou everyone who has already signed and the people that are about to. Together we can put this sick mess to an end!

Please encourage everyone you know to sign this petition! notify other fish forums! do all you can! we need your help

THIS IS SICKENING

I remember those. Has anyone ever seen anyone with them? They are so ridiculously hideous, I have to wonder WHO would use it.

 

[Joel]

Probably somebody who is cruel, careless, and has no respect for the lives of fish.

poor fish

 

[wwestar2000]

omg thats actaully kinda funny.

I emailed them:

"Your purses are hideous. Just letting you know."


Straight to the point

I signed the petition. When filling out the reason why, remember to be civil and informative rather than insulting. You attract more flies with honey than with vinegar. Just saying that it's SICK, or STUPID, or you're an IDIOT, is not likely to get the results you're hoping for.

That...-Thing- is absolutely horrifying. To think that one of my little boys could have been shoved into that...*shudders and cringes* the poor babies...

 

[afireinside]

that is absolutely disturbing, i signed! no. 86

 

[Saucy]

Yeah, they NEVER answer emails, so there's no point in emailing them. Even emailed just to ask the dimensions of the "bowl" inside and never got an answer. So I highly doubt this petition will do anything right now... but who knows... they're only in it for the money anyways. Honestly, I wonder how many of those "purses" they've actually sold, ya know? Oh and the "further action" sounds fantastic. *evil grin*

I turned them into PETA (who I don't particularly like, but oh well) and they said I wasn't the first one to be appalled by them. I'm definitely still signing the petition... fish are animals, too, darnit.

 

[oneponygirl]

Yup, I'm no. 88. It's completely inadequate and I can't believe that someone would wear something like that. The thought of some poor betta stuck in there in a nightclub with music pounding an all, poor guy.

 

[FalconStorm]

Worse than the club...I think of one left in a car in the Texas summer heat, or any state for that matter...cooked betta. I'm signing it when I get home. I doubt I can access it from work.
