Fish Fanatic
Most of you have probably already heard of it, and if there's already a topic about it somewhere, I apologize. It's called an iPond. And it pisses me off.
I saw one in Wal-Mart the other day, in the fish section no less, and thought "What the hell? That's way too small and downright cruel." So I went searching for it online. Couldn't really find anything other than articles about animal rights activists being pissed about it.
It reminds me of that "betta purse" from Bubble Gear. Though I believe they stopped selling that after so many complaints, thank god. It was definitely worse than the iPond, but the lesser of two evils does not make a right.
This is why I'm tired of pet stores keeping bettas in such tiny bowls, because all that says to customers and stupid business people is "hey this fish can live just fine in a ridiculously tiny space, how cute!" Yeah, well you can throw a kid in a broom closet and slide food under the door every day and it'll still live. But very unhealthy and very unhappy. I'm not sure who created the iPond, but for the meantime... screw Apple for starting such a stupid craze with their crappy products.
