Tesco's Cruelty to (Pet) Fish ~ Tesco-Complaint

Tesco's Cruelty to (Pet) Fish

My attention to the following product was raised by members of a forum I visit, and although it isn’t intended for saltwater use I was so disgusted by this product I though I would feature it and the campaign for Tesco to remove it from their shelves.

The first thing that struck me was how utterly tacky and unpleasant the thing is. I know it is our aim to replicate the natural habitat of any species we keep in aquariums, this items not only makes no attempt to achieve this, but looks pretty horrible too.

The item description recommends the tank for Guppies & Tetras, both tropical fish, yet there is no heater or filter supplied with the tank. As for keeping goldfish in here - forget it. They require 10-20g of water per fish.

The final great piece of advice for this is; “Tank rinses off & refills under the tap” So no mention that chlorine, chloramines and numerous other chemical additions to tap water, which are added to make it safe to drink, will kill fish? Or any mention of water treatments that can be used to make tap water safe for fish?

I feel Tesco have been incredibly short sighted in stocking this product, and by doing so are condemning thousands of fish to an unpleasant demise. I am sure Tesco are a responsible retailer and when they learn of the public feeling towards this product and its unsuitability for fish of any sort, they will remove it from sale immediately.

I urge you to email Tesco to reiterate what has been said above, if enough of us do so I’m sure they will do the right thing, as we all know “Every little helps!” customer.service@tesco.co.uk.

Even easier - just click on the "email post" picture link below and send this article to 'terry.leahy@tesco.com' to show your disdain for Tesco's animal cruelty.

Simple and Easy to Create Recipes with clear step by step instructions you
will be able to produce paleo friendly meals that get rave reviews from friends and family every- time.
The fact is, most grains are quite high in glycemic index, meaning that they make your blood sugar go up
rapidly, and send you crashing down soon thereafter.

Grains, salt, processed oils, legumes, and any other food
that is not available yet during the said era are
not including in this special type of diet.
