Save the betta fish

Addressed to: Pet Stores in BC
The amount of betta fish dying because of the belief that they can survive in small spaces is ridiculous. Every pet store I go to the bettas are crammed in little bowls and if that's not bad enough well the starter kits include a half-gallon tank with no filter or heater (which are necessary for their health). Betta fish require at LEAST 2.5 gallon tank.
I would be willing to spend a little more money if they would even include a 1 gallon tank, heater and filter along with everything else because I would upgrade at some point. Right now I purchased a starter kit from Pet Lovers in Abbotsford and it includes a 0.5 gallon tank, rocks, a plant, water conditioner and food. I suppose no heater is fine in some places but I live in southern Canada and the temperature and weather are all over the place. A filter with a weak current is absolutely necessary.
I'm saving up some money to buy my fish a new tank. That is not where the donations are going, but you do NOT have to donate, all I'm asking is that you sign this petition so the betta fish can have a happy life. Far too many bettas are dying prematurely when they can last up to 5 years in good care.
Please sign this petition!
