Alex Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Is their a better way to abuse fish? http://www.bubblegear.8k.com/catalog.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious Camel Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 why don't they just let people pay money to walk into an LFS, grab a betta from its jar and hurl it against the wall? This would be a far more humane way to kill a fish. Those pictures are shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixem Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 This has to be an all time low for the fashion industry in the USA. Where are their anti animal cruelty societies now? I hope they go broke and the shops that buy the stuff for resale ought to be boycotted. The "inventor" ought to be put in a bubble bag itself Lets hope it doesnt take off here1 Wish I could swear on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Wombat Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 That is disgusting. If i saw someone with a bag like that in Australia i would be outraged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierced Soul Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 thats really awful. I hope that the price of the artrocities at least turns people off, if not the stupidity behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiona Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I thought tiny tanks were bad, but this is the pits. Imagine how smashed the fish would be when it's moved around with all that plastic 'gravel' in there. And how stressed it would be. That is a new low.

Memphis Tank Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 girl at uni here in bathurst already has one!! The backpack model though. The pictures look worse then the bag. I wonder what customs would have to say about it all. hmmm Shame they didnt make a suitcase size model, one Tai fighter goes out and multiple un authorised fish come in. Ya gotta love fashion hahahahahaha Now im sounding as blonde as the creator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViS Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Well I've sent my email to [email protected]. I suggest you all do the same. Don't be shy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Morelia Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I've sent mine ! <<evil chuckle>> How are the fish supposed to get air ? you can't tell me those tanks are open at the top, and i seriously doubt they'd have a miniature battery operated air pump built in. (although possibly...but then how would the air pressure escape?) maybe i should've asked this in my email. But then again, after reading it, i doubt they'd reply to a polite question about the product at the bottom of the email <<hehe>> Disgusting !!

Cannula Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Ive just sent an email too, lets hope that all these emails will make them think about their product, and hopefully they will withdraw the product line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colfish Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 hi Nornicle a spam DOS attack, i don't think emails such as these would fall outside the current guidlines. "you don't fight fire with fire" no? how about doing a back burn. [ha ha] maybe a search on the USA forums will show their reactions. where's our old mate in SEATTLE. cheers; colfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urodacus Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 would that be considered a spam DOS attack? ... you dont fight fire with fire.. I dont know, i tend to think anyone willing to torture animals like that would look good on fire.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grungefreek Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 That is just an all time low for the poor betta, they just get soooooo mistreated, such a lovely fish and they get treated like (insert word here im not allowed to use on the fourm) . Terrible. And i thought seeing them in tiny plastic cups, half filled with no air and stacked 1M high was bad. Putting a fish into a bag that would be constantly moving is like throwing a cat or dog into a dryer . I cant imagine these people are going to delicately place the bag down every time they put it on the ground Just leave the poor betta alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nornicle Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 colfish email away, i have, several hundreads of times. ?? if it was just a joke okay, but if you spam attack someones mail box, all the other emails that were sent from genuinely distressed people get lost, and instead of being a moral victory it's just a stupid spam attack and both sides lose.

inspector rex Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 How are the fish supposed to get air ? you can't tell me those tanks are open at the top, and i seriously doubt they'd have a miniature battery operated air pump built in. (although possibly...but then how would the air pressure escape?) I dont think the desingers or that product line would bother to take the poor little fishes needs into consideration when the where designing them, they probably where looking for a new and orignal product where they could make some profit. I cant beleive people would be that stupid to buy one without thinking it was cruel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katanaone Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 do ya reckon they have a bigger bag for oscars? only kidn guys dont shoot me! but seriously,the fashion industry has gone too far, people that buy these kinds of products must consider pets as accesories and not as family. my email is as good as sent!
