Warmongers!!

I walked into MegaPet tonight and spotted 3 guys in their twenties carrying a Bettafish each. Eying them suspiciously I followed them around the store for a minute and overheard one of them say "we're gonna have to get drunk first" I immediately recognized this to be the tell-tail sign for the dreaded Betta Fight Night. I confronted them at the check out stand and begged them not let the little guys fight each other. I told them I understood the temptation and how I'd even deliberated over having my own tournament, but to take a closer look at their magnificent plumage and how keeping one alive for more than a week will deliver untold blessings of peace and happiness. Boys, you know who you are! Let me know how your conscience is doing...

Here's how they look when they fight in safety
















And I wasn't kidding about that petition...

O brutal piteous spectacle! O bloody times! While bettas war and battle for their dens, pitfull humans abide in celebration of this enmity,--Wet wretched men!

For they that seek pleasure in blood shall instead find themselves bloody victims of another's pleasure.

Hi
I am an artist. I do copper fish sculptures. If you send me a photo of your favorite Beta I can do a sculpture that is slightly larger than life size for about $150. Email me and I can send you an invitation to my picasa fish gallery.
Happy New Year
