Well, I really don't believe AR activists would do such a thing but either way it's sad. I don't support the existance of pet stores, especially exotics (and this store was dirty) but I did know the guy that owned this place and he took in orphaned fish all the time that fish owners couldn't handle. Many fish like oscars, plecos, sharks etc get too big for the average tank and this guy was known to take in fish without question. He had huge tanks all over his store dedicated to these animals (that couldn't be sold). Eh, I'd rather not see these type of stores around but there aren't shelters for fish either so it's a bit of a loss.
