Stop Walmart from Selling Pet Fish

The Issue

For years whenever I visit Walmart and go to the pet supplies to buy things for my cats, I always see the fish they sell there as pets. I usually look away quickly because it pains me so much knowing they're not properly being taken care of. The water is typically brown or there's not even enough water for the bettas to swim. I've even seen the betta fish on end caps towards the front of the store. 

Perhaps not every store is like this but I believe all Walmart stores should stop selling live fish. Walmart needs to stop buying live fish from their suppliers as they are just contributing to animal abuse. 

I care for animals so deeply and if I, with all of your help, make this change happen it would be so wonderful for those fish's lives. Please help save the fish and sign this petition!
