Happy endings! @PetSmart treated him like trash. I will treat him like a king. 👑 He’s mostly hanging at the surface — likely swim bladder/buoyancy issues caused by inflammation from the ammonia-filled water he lived in at Petsmart, but it should resolve with time. 😊

@PetSmart Wow, look how long it took me to put him in a fresh cup with freshly conditioner water. Hospital tank is up. Fingers crossed for the little prince. 🤞 Anyway, again, shame on @PetSmart for all-time.

Hi. Nelsonmom here! I popped into the @PetSmart in Victoria, TX (store #1449) on a whim and found this: water so putrid you can’t even see the bettas through the cloud of their own waste. One was floating at the top of their cup, on the edge of death. Do you know how many DAYS of neglect it takes for water to get like this? In cups this small, water changes should happen once a day, at a minimum. Every time a fish breathes out, they produce ammonia into this closed system. When they breathe it back in, it burns their gills. It *hurts*. It causes psychological stress and organ damage. Every. Single. Breath. Treating fish like this at the start of their journey sets them up for shorter lives, weaker immune systems, and greater susceptibility to illness, even if they’re lucky enough to get a perfect owner and setup (and many of them will not get the perfect owner and setup). I asked an employee in the fish department when they’re going to chance the bettas’ water — that they’re “rotting in their own waste” — and I received the most disinterested, uncaring “soon” of all time. Meanwhile there was a cart of freshly-unboxed bettas in their medicated, Methylene blue water nearby. The latest recruits in a chain of corporate cruelty that sees living animals as disposable products. Betta fish are the most delightful, wonderful creatures with unique personalities. It sickens me to my CORE to see a dozen+ little lives as valuable as my late Apollo’s. He is a betta (from a breeder, not a big box store) that I loved so much, I still cry about him FOUR years after his death. I know retail associates are underpaid and overworked. But if you stock LIVING, FEELING creatures as products in your stores, your first priority should be their welfare. If you can’t do that, you should not sell animals. Period. Like, give me a bottle of water conditioner and 30 fucking minutes and I’ll change the water for free myself. Zero excuse for this. Nelson fans and animal lovers, please let @PetSmart know how you feel about this.

@pdnr777 😇

@PupperNelson Hope you got some

I see you have pizza. I, too, like pizza.

Watching the movie of all time. Mom says I’m more handsome than Ryan Gosling, but not as cute as Rocky.

oh god yes

(and before you ask, of course Nelson got a dollop of lemon blueberry cheesecake. he gave it two paws up.)

excuse me? yes, hello. what is that, and also may I have some?

@astrobuni @PetSmart API master kid needs a new ammonia level for this. 😬

@PupperNelson @PetSmart jesus christ. i don't think i've ever seen water quality that bad in my life. can't even call it "quality" at that point, because there is none!
