The baby hamster one made me cry. I can’t believe they would do that intentionally. Who in their right mind would do that to new babies like that? You wouldn’t put a newborn human baby onto a playground merry-go-round while adults spun it from the outside. Psychopaths.
I think I was on that live before he started putting the baby hamsters on there. I knew there was something wrong cause hamsters kept getting flung from the wheel, I even commented “I don’t think that wheel is safe for hamsters”.
I feel like some people will put any babies there, human or animals, as long as they'll get money, views or just attention from it. It's sad and messed up, but the issue is that people who know how wrong and messed up doing something like this is would also never do anything like that. People who are doing it will never bother to use their brains and think something like "Hm, maybe I should not be doing that, maybe it's not right or good for that animal/s. How would I feel if someone did this to me?" They care only about the numbers and they are getting them, people will watch or send those people money (nope, no idea for what or why, but then again I can not know that since I don't think the way these people do)
honestly, i really, really hope that sick person gets sent to FUCKIGN hell i'm so pissed off. i hope the worst things imaginable happen to the sick fucking psychopath. i can't say what i hope happens to the guy bc it's gruesome and i know i'm wrong for thinking this but i just can't. i'm sorry for this rant.
It's extremely concerning that people think it's ok to abuse small critters like hamsters and fish, but say they'll kill someone if anyone touched their dog. Doesn't matter if you like them or not it's almost psychotic
I'm a pet groomer at a Petco and one time I saw one of my coworkers get screamed at by this dude because my coworker wouldn't let him purchase the betta to place in a 0.5 gallon container that mostly is used for transportation and crickets. My coworker even offered to keep the betta off of the purchasable ones for up to 2 weeks until nitrites and nitrates and ammonia balanced. This was also when the $1 per gallon tank sale was happening and he tried to guide him in the right direction, but the customer just yelled at him then called corporate. In a rare situation corporate stuck by my coworker. Oh yeah also told customer I have 1 betta in a 10 gallon this is normal and easier to maintain he went off on me too. I fled back to the grooming salon lol.
@@Flufferz626Disgusting. Even if you were spouting wrong information, which you weren't, you never go off on people like that. I wish corporate would have calmly called the police, because people need to realize that such an attitude can very well make you fear for your safety. That qualifies for assault.
@@_gorillazfreakinc._2 It very much can be. Assault means that you make somebody afraid of an attack. What you think of is battery. (Very, very simply put.)
Pufferfish don’t get enough love, just look at the little guys unpuffed, I love the little goobers so much. Sadly a lot of people only like them when they are puffed, or even intentionally puff them up
Here in florida puffers are highly protected and you are legally required to show proof of a giant tank due to them being social animals and proof of experience with fish
@@illusionistcat I actually prefer them unpuffed as they have derpier eyes and derpy eyes is the definition of cute to me Edit: I have learned something they actually can remember stuff from 9 years ago thats better memory then i have
@@sodapets Dang. I was hoping it might be just a dumb kid who didn’t know better. I know I wasn’t always the best pet owner when I was very little, but I wanted to be so I learned. Many people are like that. That’s why I appreciate your videos
So that guy was 100% a Dwarf Green spotted puffer fish, we used to sell them in the pet store where I work. However we didn't let them go home to anyone that had a less then 20 gal tank. They do need brackish water for the most part, that's what we kept them in.
@@Kami43644 Yep! So brackish water has more salinity than fresh water. I imagine it's hard to tell when brackish becomes salt water, due to the fact that salt water is well... extremely salty. For our brackish water, we used a small jug mixed with a scoop of salt and OR water, dissolved it and put it in the tank once or twice a day. I do want you to take my word with a grain of salt (haha get it) as I don't know too much about it and I'm more knowledge in fresh water! ^^
I have ALWAYS wanted a freshwater pufferfish. They are so smart and love to interact with you. They NEED at least 30 gallons and they can be pretty aggressive with fish outside their own. However, I am completely happy with my tetras, shrimp and snails in my 30 gallon. They have tons of live plants and places to hide.
@@tierdokuparodien8460 i have pea puffers in a 15 gallon. Theyre so fuckin cute and and the shrimp population was well esablished so they basically hunt for their food but i still feed them brine shrimp cubes.
The lady with the kids and goldfish worried me. She seemed manic and impulsive. I have ADHD, I know impulsive thoughts and feelings, especially with fun things and animals. You need to plan and practice self control, especially with children or pets.
i got unfriended recently cause i told someone that a piddly bowl with some rocks and a fake plant isn't he best way to keep a beta and they told me " well the two i have are doing jsut fine" and i told them " well surviving and thriving aren't really the same thing"
I had something similar happen to me during a ghost hunt (in Feather Family on Roblox) and everyone wanted to summon SS and when I told them SS wasn’t real and the summon never worked the host said “that’s just ur opinion” and when I told them the summon didn’t work when I tried it they kicked me from the server. I do agree your story is much worse I just have AuDHD and always end up making things about me
ur literally my comfort youtuber, i want to thank you so much for using your platform to spread awareness and to educate people on proper pet care, people really do not realise that just because pets cannot verbally express how they feel about things, does not mean that they cant physically feel things.
Fun cat facts: Cats play with their prey and can possibly damage them without even knowing, they will not be friends. More lighthearted fact: Cats have bristles on their tongues, these are made out of the same thing as our fingernails. This helps with grooming
nah bruh, messed up is a goddamn understatement. it's literally a torture cage for the poor hamsters. honestly i hope the same thing he did to the hamsters, happens to him when he gets sent to hell. too far? i'm only being nice
I remember as a kid getting heaps of small animals like rabbits, Guinea pigs and mice. As a kid I tormented those poor animals (unknowingly) because I played bloody dolls and crap with them. Now I'm older, I own two rabbits who I did a little research on before getting, to only realise there's so much more to it. I'm glad once I started to research, I did it for hours discovering many interesting things but also thinking about the animals I had when I was younger and realising how badly I treated them due to ignorance not only on my behalf but my parents. It's sad that people think animals are just that, animals.
@camponotus inflatus they didn't mind what I was doing. They seen them as dirty animals with no feelings, dogs different, cats gross....you know those kinds of people. When I got old got my own pets I realise how fucked up the situation really was. I would never get my children any of those types of animal, not now I'm aware of just how fragile they are. Explains why all of them died very early on. Trust me, I feel like a little a*sho*le for what I did to those poor animals
Don't feel bad, children don't know better, this is the reason children shouldnt get their own pets or be closely monitored. It's your parents who are ass holes.
@@lilgib4957you shouldn’t blame yourself. You were just a child and it was your parents’ responsibility to teach you certain values. But despite that, from your comments I can see that you grew up to be an empathic and smart person. I just hope you’re doing fine and I’m sending you a huge hug ❤
same and now I feel very regretful towards all the animals that died. I had many budgies, canaries, cockatiels and fish. All of them died very young and I knew why, I was a smart kid and I would cry a lot when they would die, but when I would ask for proper equipment that I researched by myself my parents would tell me that it's spoiling to offer proper care and that the animals should be grateful we feed them and if they die we get new ones. I don't talk to my parents anymore, animals are not the only beings they abused
In America, they will sell you whatever fish you want at pet stores with no questions asked. When I started my fish tank (I don't have it anymore) I had to research before getting it and any info I wanted, I had to ask the workers at the pet store. The workers at the pet store where I bought mine were glad to tell me everything they knew, but I did have to ask. If I hadn't asked, they wouldn't have said anything.
Not sure where in America you experienced that. In my experience it’s more of the opposite, even less reputable stores like Petsmart will refuse a fish sale if you don’t already have an established tank
@@Creepystalker102 That's not true at all! Pet Smart(in Ohio) is actually the only pet store that I bought my fish from and they never once asked me if I already had a tank or anything like that! And I went to several Pet Smart stores because I was looking for a specific type of fish and the one in my area was sold out of them. Even the very first fish I ever bought for my tank, never once did they question me at any of the Pet Smart stores or refuse to sell me any fish! And my mom was never questioned about it when she started her tank either, same for my brother's ex wife. I have never even heard of them refusing to sell someone fish because they didn't already have an established tank! That doesn't even make sense because how could anyone ever have an established tank if they refused to sell fish without an established tank??! You have to start somewhere, and every person who owns a fish tank was once in the position where their tank wasn't already established. Make it make sense!
@@silvers_ink you can establish a tank without fish. A good cycled tank needs beneficial bacteria, which feed on fish waste products and (mostly) clean the water and maintain the PH. You can buy the waste product they feed on in chemical form, and you can also buy starter bacteria. you then spend....i think its like 4-6 weeks? growing your beneficial bacteria. You track this by continuing to add the chemical food to the water, then test the water and track PH changes. Once the beneficial bacteria can keep the PH level stable, you can safely add fish
@@karameru_xd late response but you can as long as your hands are wet and don’t have any soap on them and i can tell from the video the person with the frog had wet hands
My parents bought me three goldfish when I was about four to teach me about loss under the assumption that they wouldn’t live very long… two of them lived seven years and one lived ten. RIP Goldie, Porky, and Chicken. You were the best fish a kid could ask for.
My aunt used to have 2 beta fish in tiny glass bowls with a bamboo plant sticking out. I remember being 10 and thinking 'that ain't right' 🤔🥺 poor guys barely lived for a month
What bothers me about some stores is that they “package“ the bettas in really cute little vases (which I’ve always assumed it was only for giftgiving purposes before they got into their actual tank) and people who don’t know better seem to believe that that’s where they should stay. Stores should know better than to sell living creatures like trinkets and I hope they go beyond that point someday.
my brother had a nice, pretty big tank with a few fish in it, and when he moved, he left the tank and we moved in the place. I took care of the fish, because seeing how my mother treated them was terrible and when he finally took the tank home (after a few months) he forgot one fish behind and my mother had it in a jar of pickles (without the pickles of course). I felt so sorry for the guy, it was obvious how he was going insane in that small space but I couldn't do anything. He unfortunately (or rather fortunately) died in approx a month which is damn surprising, he tried so hard
oh my god that live stream is genuinely one of the most disturbing things I've seen 😰 I cannot imagine looking at that, even if you don't know anything about hamster, and not being ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIED? nimh vibes 😬
Hey! Could you please name drop these creators more? If a known celeb did this, I wouldn't beat around the bush about this cruelty. It sickens me to think that these people could just apply to any pet store or even study to become a vet. If someone intentionally drops hamsters to their demise, I don't personally feel comfortable not holding them personally accountable. A name drop is such a small step. If I saw anything like the hamster video IRL, I would've beat the living daylights out of the animal abvser. (Have done it before) Thank you so much for your content. I've learned SO much about aquatic animals because of you, Soda! xo
I wanted fish, but I did a bit of research into it, and it's a lot of initial cost for a nice setup, and maintenance. And decided it wasn't for me. Now I just play BBC sea life documentaries on my projector and watch it with my cats. Ez and doesn't cause any harm. :D
In the US some stores have aquarium sales that put them up for $1 per gallon. So, they can be VERY CHEAP here. Depending on what you get, you could potentially put together a pretty decent
Also in a pet store near me they keep beta fish in TINY tanks it shocked me :( they where in a 5 by 5 by 5 inch cube and they looked rough. They looked sad, had no plants or anything, just an empty cube with a sad fish, their fins looked torn and they had scales missing. Basically they looked beat up :/
@@mialeaver435 sorry to let you know that they are not for display, those are the actual homes and then many pass away each day and they all have fin rot and other diseases. Also they never inform people how to care for them so they get kept in enclosures of the same size when bought.
@@beththegreen In the US it is not for display. They’re either sold in those tiny cups or they die in those cups and get thrown away in the trash. Often in our local big chain pet stores you can walk right in and find many dead or near death still on the shelf.
I really hope these videos of yours spread enough awareness of animal abuse. you seriously deserve way more views, thank you for educating us also, I love your miku merch, I’m a huge fan of hatsune miku as well 😭
Was goldfish lady okay? She seemed like she was going into a bit of a manic or psychosis episode. I don't follow her to know what she's normally like, but her general demeanour was very similar to that of people I've seen entering an episode.
I had hamsters all throughout my childhood and even I knew to be careful when handling them because they were so small. I had a friend who would take them out of the cage and put them on the floor/on my bed or would want to take them outside in the backyard and I had to pretty much beg her not to do that.
The $50 challenge isn't impossible, I got my betta's 5 gallon tank in a kit with cover/light and a filter for $35 at walmart. I probably spent more on the fish/live plants/sand substrate. But if somebody's gunna do a $50 challenge with absolutely no regard for the fish's health and wellbeing, why not the $5 challenge with a vase from the thrift store and a couple of $1 guppies? /sarcasm
Omg actually my local thrift store was selling male and female guppies for like fifty cents they had them right at the register in bowls no filter no anything just a bowl and for like a dollar you could get the bowl. I wanted to throw up it was so bad
I understand that initial supplies can be $50 or under, but water testing kits, filter changes, will come out to wayyyy more than $50. So why did he even do this challenge in the first place?
Even if you get the tank and the filter for $35, you still need to purchase a heater, food, a water testing kit, and the betta itself. You’re going to end up going over 50 dollars for the bare minimum. Let alone if you want to consider substrate, filter replacements, any medications the fish might need from living in those horrible pet store conditions…. I’m not trying to be a jerk, but you either spent more than $50 or you didn’t properly prepare to get the fish.
I have a kitten and she murders any small animal or bug that walks in front of her. The second I saw that person put the hamster in front of the cat I was screaming. Who the hell thought this would work out.
I saw one of those disturbing lives with the hamsters, wish I would have reported it but I scrolled past because it was hard to watch, also TikTok does NOT take action when I do report disturbing content like this at ALL!!!
You could get a decent tank for $50 in USA if you know what you are doing, particularly if you find a deal on craigslist or offerup and are willing to clean and rehab a dirty tank someone is getting rid of. Also petco does their 'dollar per gallon sale' on tanks once or twice a year but the tanks that are part of that sale don't come with anything included so you have to add on filter, lights, hood or cover possibly, and a stand probably. People like the cheap plastic starter kits because they are cheap and they are "everything you need" even though they are all tiny and made of plastic that decays and gets brittle over time not to mention what it might do to the water. The better quality 'starter kits' cost upwards of $60 for a 5 gallon or $75 for a 10 gallon. Which is still worth it if you care about your fish.
@Rat_in_a_bucket I've both bought and sold preowned tanks and even gotten some for free here or there from people. And often people are eager to get rid of them because they take up kind of a lot of space, so you can get a good deal if you're willing to travel and pickup from them. The one downside is that it depends a lot on what's available in your area but other than that it's the way to go.
By far one of my favourite pet RUclipsrs, not only because they know so much about such a variety of animals, but also because they genuinely really care about their own animals, ethicality behind their breeding, and things like invasive species and the environment. They spread such important information, like not mixing predator and prey animals or not releasing your animals/burying or dumping dead pets. The mixing predator and prey animals really gets me, I see it all the time, people thinking it’s cute, that the animals are friends, etc. Like, honestly, just why, anything can happen, one of them can get spooked, it takes one second, WHY would you risk something so horrible like that so that your animals can completely unnecessarily be friends!? Gets on my nerves. And then the idiots are SO surprised when it ends badly and their pet is seriously injured or even killed!
Glad to know that doing research pays off. I'm getting a baby sulcata tortoise soon, and I definitely don't want him dying on the first day because of me being ignorant.
When my Mocha (Hamster) was alive I was terrified of my cats even getting near his enclosure and did everything I could to keep the cats from getting to it, so seeing people purposely putting their cat and hamster together is sickining (I think that's how you spell that word)
The hamster one is gross for the flinging. My hamster, the larger kind, had 14 babies (not through my doing). Her nest was next to her enclosed wheel and sometimes they would go in but she was good about removing them back to nest. Every single one of her babies survived to the separation stage. She was so friendly and loved my hand in there distracting the babies so she could leave. She had one of those plastic cages with one of the tubes connecting to a tank behind it.
I had a hamster when I was a kid, my sisters friend threw it at a wall and she had done it so much to her own hampster she immediately knew it was in shock… I haven’t gotten a hamster since because every single person I have met mistreats their hamsters and I’m so scared I’d let someone hold them
I absolutely adore how informative your videos are and how they expose these disgusting TikTok’s, bUT THE FROG AT THE END, QHY HE WALK LIKE THAT???💀AND THE MUSIC BEHIND IT😭😭😭
I love your channel so much! Your channel has taught me a lot about animals! I first came across your channel I think from a "rating subscribers pet enclosure" video or something similar. Which you talked about guinea pig cage sizes in one of those videos. I didn't even realize my cage I had for my guinea pig was way too small and your channel made me realize that so I could buy a way bigger cage for my guinea pig so he could be so much happier! 💗
The best analogy I made with myself about why such a small fish needs a big tank is pretty simple, actually! You need a house or just a room to live comfortably? A house obviously A house in the size of a room wouldn't be comfy for you because it would be way too tight for everything you need to do!
I am a new teacher wanting to have a classroom fish for my students, but I have zero experience with keeping a fish and am terrified of accidentally hurting one (and traumatizing my students). The more research I’ve done, the more complicated caring for a fish has seemed. Watching your videos has really made me want to look into it again, though. Any suggestions for an “easy” first-time fish? I have a 5 gallon tank with a filter that someone gave me.
As a former fish owner of some of the "easy" fish like guppies, I don't think any fish is a good idea as a classroom pet because they are expensive and high maintenance and you would need a second aquarium at your home to transfer the fish to during weekends and holidays and summer break. Doing aquarium water changes takes a lot of time and is pretty messy and you would be lugging a bucket or two of water to wherever the closest bathroom is which might be far from your classroom. Fish themselves can be quite fragile and might die unexpectedly in a short amount of time even if you did everything right, they can't be handled by the kids which is probably a bummer for them, and the kids are DEFINITELY going to tap the glass no matter how many times you tell them it's bad for the fish. I'd also be worried about some kids doing something that might harm the fish more directly like putting objects in the aquarium that might be toxic or trying to catch the fish when you aren't looking.
"This is the actual fish tank im gonna use" MAAM THATS NOTHING MORE THAN A GLASS OF WATER AGAIN HOW ARE THEY NOT GETTING ASKED ABOUT THEIR SETUPS AT THE PET SHOPS THEYRE BUYING THESE FROM IS BEYOND ME. She would never have been sold that fish if a responsible employee would've asked her questions at the store
11:45 I can’t not watch the Baby Hamster part without shivering because the babies being trampled and the screams and thuds make me want to save the poor babies! 😢😢😢😢
I went to the pet store today and entirely forgot how many shitty products are sold at places like that- They've stopped selling those crappy hamster cages at least at the store near me, but they still sell hamster balls and the conditions for the fish and birds that aren't budgies are just so sad to see-
@@ButterFromDiscord I didn't pay too close attention, I just noticed they didn't have those pink and blue ones that come with the plastic tubes and the ones I saw were much bigger than the basic plastic 'kids' ones.
Seeing bettas in tiny tanks has always bothered me. I had one for years, in a 20 gallon. They're so much more personalitied with space. He had a bestfriend who was a neon tetra, they went everywhere together and were always very active. It was also the only fish in the tank my beta allowed to exist.
one time there was a tiktok vid with climbing perch and they kept them in a tank with no water except for a small dish. looked more like a reptile terrarrium and the fish were all just flopping around and crowding around the tiny water dish trying to breathe
I love that my pet store allows us to deny sales if people don’t seem like they know what they’re doing and we educate them and we make people cycle their tanks
The one where the hamster was knocked into the floor by the cat was despicable. My old hamster was the exact same size and colour of that one. And to see that, how can they let that happen. How dare they let that happen. Disgusting human being.
Oh man.. this one was a heavy one to watch.. im a long time hamster mom and seeing this breaks my heart. The fact that people give money to disgusting people like that..its.. damn😢
when i was younger i had a couple bettas, and im really sad to admit that we didnt really take good care of them. the typical mall tank, no filter, just pebbles and fake plants, all that. since then i've learned more about properly keeping animals, and it just makes me feel sad and guilty that theres still so many fish owners like that out there
the only way a cat n hamster would be friends is if you raised them from birth together, and even then when the kitten is older, its instincts would get stronger when it reaches adulthood (a year old or so) that it would priobably still attack the hamster at that point
11:45 i actually cried to this tiktok. i have had hamster's in the past and seeing someone harming baby hamsters on purpose feels absolutely disgusting! not only is this tiktoker purposely harming baby hamster's and adult ones to. their laughing at them like its a fun game! im very certain that the hamsters being flung to the floor that hard might have for one broken some bones, brain damage, death might even be possibility for some of them and even more. and seeing how young their are some of them might have died a slow and painfull death. i feel so bad for the hamsters and i hope the people who posted that on their tiktok gets taken done and banned forever!!
I had a parrotlet named Daniel because I had a cat and he loved perching right on her head. Never was out of his cage without me in the room, cage was where Miriam couldn't get to him, but every time he was out he sat on her and she just layed there doing nothing.
A 1.5 gallon tank is too small for a living fish but you could put a robotic toy fish in it for a kid's room as long as they learn how to properly clean the tank and take out the robotic toy fish when they aren't in use....
6:00. I accidentally dropped my gerbil once from a very small height but it scared the living shit out of me, we made sure she was fine and it did seem like it. She luckily made it to three years of age
For the longest time I thought that fish were just "bad" pets because they died easily... Until I realized that it's just all too common for people to get fish without doing any research, or getting a proper living space.
This is just heartbreaking… I came across the live before and three of the baby hamsters died. From head trauma. All the guy did was put them Into a trash bag and set them aside and proceeded to watch the older hamsters fling the baby’s around on the wheel..
I've been keeping fish for almost as long as I have been alive (I am 45) and the whole "tank cycling" thing is still something I'm on the fence on. I've kept fish in both (but still use water conditioners to make the water safe as well as bacteria boosts) and I don't really see a difference in the health of my fish either way. I do my weekly water changes, etc and normal upkeep as needed, and never had an issue in a "cycled" versus "uncycled" tank. I am always willing to learn new things and adopt them (which is why I no longer keep my Bettas in tiny, unheated and unfiltered bowls, but actual 5 to 10 gallon tanks) but I'm still not sure "cycling" actually does anything at all, despite what I've read on it by fish keepers who swear by it. But the rest of this video really is absolutely horrific and I agree with the people saying you should call them out by name. I've seen things like this done before with actually good results.
The bird in the background sounds like he's pretty agitated with these tiktoks as well! Edit: finished the video and I'm going to be ill. That was hard to stomach.
I found an insta account with a dog and a rabbit, but it's surprisingly really good from what I've seen. The dog has never shown any body language or behavior to show that he wants to harm the rabbit. I believe she said she doesn't leave them alone unsupervised, but the dog and rabbit cuddle and it's kinds cute, but they've clearly been properly introduced and the dog doesn't perceive the bunny as prey. I can't remember the exact name, but it's some combo of the pets' names, which are Bear (dog) and Mighty Smols (bunny). Idk if what they're doing is ok or not but it doesn't seem like it's harmful to either as long as the dog doesn't one day see the bunny as prey
Over where I live the nearest pet shop is ages away and if you haven't had a cycled tank for over 1/2 weeks they won't sell you a fish which I find quite nice that they care about the fishes well being and wants them to have a long healthy life❤️ anyway I love the vids❤️
I am happy to have found a young woman who thinks , an intelligent young woman aware that animals are not toys , and must be respected , cared for and loved , you have my admiration and respect forever. I find it disgusting, cowardly and cruel people using animals to have vews, doing all kinds of evil with them, I get very angry with everything these idiots do with animals.
Its not the animal abuse that scares me anymore. Its the normalisation of harming and exploiting these beautiful animals. And how people enjoy it. Disgusting.
Me and my mom bought a ball python impulsively. Luckily, we had a really large tank that a friend of her’s wanted to sell because it was empty. It had old, completely dry pinewood in the background. We got a uv light, a basking light, MULTIPLE hides and water bowls (for additional use) etc etc. He has yet to eat, but he’s at least confident. He’s climbed up the branches three times so far. He’s a very confident little boy. His shed was a beautiful “full” piece (it tore when we took it out) Sorry for rambling, I just love him so much
The person doing that to those baby hamsters… needs to be placed on a merry go round and not let off even if he vomits….just keep it spinning 👍 The frog at the end made my day though lmao
I don't understand how people can learn about water temperature and acclimatization and stuff, while at the same time be ignorant about things that even I know! And I know absolutely nothing about fish, except that it's complicated.
My Mother has a number of fish tanks. One of which is quite small. As a rule we only ever use that tank grow plants for the other MUCH larger tanks, and to prep various other bits of enrichment. My Mother likes to collect, clean and use driftwood in the fish tanks. She'll clean the wood and than put it in the smaller tank so it can release the majority of it's tannins. Once that process is finished she'll move it over to the larger tanks. In my personal opinion this is the ONLY way such a small tank should be used.
The baby hamster thing is honestly serial killer-esque.
Remember: murderers start off by hurting innocent little creatures!

I'm a pet groomer at a Petco and one time I saw one of my coworkers get screamed at by this dude because my coworker wouldn't let him purchase the betta to place in a 0.5 gallon container that mostly is used for transportation and crickets. My coworker even offered to keep the betta off of the purchasable ones for up to 2 weeks until nitrites and nitrates and ammonia balanced. This was also when the $1 per gallon tank sale was happening and he tried to guide him in the right direction, but the customer just yelled at him then called corporate. In a rare situation corporate stuck by my coworker.
Oh yeah also told customer I have 1 betta in a 10 gallon this is normal and easier to maintain he went off on me too. I fled back to the grooming salon lol.
@@Flufferz626Disgusting. Even if you were spouting wrong information, which you weren't, you never go off on people like that. I wish corporate would have calmly called the police, because people need to realize that such an attitude can very well make you fear for your safety. That qualifies for assault.
@@JuMiKu No one touched anyone else though? Yelling at people is not assault
@@_gorillazfreakinc._2 It very much can be. Assault means that you make somebody afraid of an attack. What you think of is battery. (Very, very simply put.)
If a person will abuse animals they’ll do it to people!😥
I can't believe they're getting pets as a challenge :/
I know that’s crazy like why
Pets are like tiny children, but they're not humans, you don't see people adopting tiny kids as a challenge do you?

Pufferfish don’t get enough love, just look at the little guys unpuffed, I love the little goobers so much. Sadly a lot of people only like them when they are puffed, or even intentionally puff them up
Yeah.. it’s really sad how many videos I have seen of poor little puffers puffed up
Here in florida puffers are highly protected and you are legally required to show proof of a giant tank due to them being social animals and proof of experience with fish
Ugh they’re so adorable they were my fave in the pet store
those goofy little thingies look cute either way, but people love them when they are puffed.
@@illusionistcat I actually prefer them unpuffed as they have derpier eyes and derpy eyes is the definition of cute to me

So that guy was 100% a Dwarf Green spotted puffer fish, we used to sell them in the pet store where I work. However we didn't let them go home to anyone that had a less then 20 gal tank. They do need brackish water for the most part, that's what we kept them in.
Is brackish water part salt? At what point does it start being brackish instead of just salt water
@@Kami43644 Yep! So brackish water has more salinity than fresh water. I imagine it's hard to tell when brackish becomes salt water, due to the fact that salt water is well... extremely salty.
For our brackish water, we used a small jug mixed with a scoop of salt and OR water, dissolved it and put it in the tank once or twice a day.
I do want you to take my word with a grain of salt (haha get it) as I don't know too much about it and I'm more knowledge in fresh water! ^^
@@InTheory_Thursday well thank you for the informative reply
I have ALWAYS wanted a freshwater pufferfish. They are so smart and love to interact with you. They NEED at least 30 gallons and they can be pretty aggressive with fish outside their own. However, I am completely happy with my tetras, shrimp and snails in my 30 gallon. They have tons of live plants and places to hide.
There are many smaller Puffers for 15 gallon, especially pea puffers.
How many tetras
They will most def eat your snails and also prob the shrimp. And eventually probably nip your tetras to death just out of boredom.
@@AaronHendu Would it be better if the pufferfish got its own tank?
@@tierdokuparodien8460 i have pea puffers in a 15 gallon. Theyre so fuckin cute and and the shrimp population was well esablished so they basically hunt for their food but i still feed them brine shrimp cubes.
The lady with the kids and goldfish worried me. She seemed manic and impulsive. I have ADHD, I know impulsive thoughts and feelings, especially with fun things and animals. You need to plan and practice self control, especially with children or pets.
She definitely cares only about how the animals look.
Oh, I thought she was on some drugs tbh
It’s definitely not adhd it’s psychosis
She looks psychotic, i would be scared of her.
Her kids look way too young to actually care for a pet.
i got unfriended recently cause i told someone that a piddly bowl with some rocks and a fake plant isn't he best way to keep a beta and they told me " well the two i have are doing jsut fine" and i told them " well surviving and thriving aren't really the same thing"
I had something similar happen to me during a ghost hunt (in Feather Family on Roblox) and everyone wanted to summon SS and when I told them SS wasn’t real and the summon never worked the host said “that’s just ur opinion” and when I told them the summon didn’t work when I tried it they kicked me from the server. I do agree your story is much worse I just have AuDHD and always end up making things about me
ur literally my comfort youtuber, i want to thank you so much for using your platform to spread awareness and to educate people on proper pet care, people really do not realise that just because pets cannot verbally express how they feel about things, does not mean that they cant physically feel things.
Fun cat facts: Cats play with their prey and can possibly damage them without even knowing, they will not be friends.
More lighthearted fact: Cats have bristles on their tongues, these are made out of the same thing as our fingernails. This helps with grooming
Another not-so-fun fact: the bristles on a cat’s tongue also aid in scraping flesh from the skin & bones of their prey
@@averycheesypotato I added the second fact so it's more lighthearted and not just negative but yes the bristles are like little hooks

the puffer fish video really upsets me cause how does he not realize he’s putting a living being into a tank the size of a damn milk jug
Not a milk jug those are 2 gallons the fish is in a tank the size of my soda can plant pot
I remember as a kid getting heaps of small animals like rabbits, Guinea pigs and mice. As a kid I tormented those poor animals (unknowingly) because I played bloody dolls and crap with them. Now I'm older, I own two rabbits who I did a little research on before getting, to only realise there's so much more to it. I'm glad once I started to research, I did it for hours discovering many interesting things but also thinking about the animals I had when I was younger and realising how badly I treated them due to ignorance not only on my behalf but my parents. It's sad that people think animals are just that, animals.
WTF Where were your parents in all of this?
@camponotus inflatus they didn't mind what I was doing. They seen them as dirty animals with no feelings, dogs different, cats gross....you know those kinds of people. When I got old got my own pets I realise how fucked up the situation really was. I would never get my children any of those types of animal, not now I'm aware of just how fragile they are. Explains why all of them died very early on. Trust me, I feel like a little a*sho*le for what I did to those poor animals
Don't feel bad, children don't know better, this is the reason children shouldnt get their own pets or be closely monitored. It's your parents who are ass holes.
@@lilgib4957you shouldn’t blame yourself. You were just a child and it was your parents’ responsibility to teach you certain values. But despite that, from your comments I can see that you grew up to be an empathic and smart person. I just hope you’re doing fine and I’m sending you a huge hug ❤
same and now I feel very regretful towards all the animals that died. I had many budgies, canaries, cockatiels and fish. All of them died very young and I knew why, I was a smart kid and I would cry a lot when they would die, but when I would ask for proper equipment that I researched by myself my parents would tell me that it's spoiling to offer proper care and that the animals should be grateful we feed them and if they die we get new ones. I don't talk to my parents anymore, animals are not the only beings they abused
In America, they will sell you whatever fish you want at pet stores with no questions asked. When I started my fish tank (I don't have it anymore) I had to research before getting it and any info I wanted, I had to ask the workers at the pet store. The workers at the pet store where I bought mine were glad to tell me everything they knew, but I did have to ask. If I hadn't asked, they wouldn't have said anything.
Good pet stores dont do that. I dont shop at ones that do. Chain stores are a sure way to find a bad pet store.
@@AaronHendu Yea, that's one of the reasons why I don't have my fish tank anymore!
Not sure where in America you experienced that. In my experience it’s more of the opposite, even less reputable stores like Petsmart will refuse a fish sale if you don’t already have an established tank
@@Creepystalker102 That's not true at all! Pet Smart(in Ohio) is actually the only pet store that I bought my fish from and they never once asked me if I already had a tank or anything like that! And I went to several Pet Smart stores because I was looking for a specific type of fish and the one in my area was sold out of them. Even the very first fish I ever bought for my tank, never once did they question me at any of the Pet Smart stores or refuse to sell me any fish! And my mom was never questioned about it when she started her tank either, same for my brother's ex wife. I have never even heard of them refusing to sell someone fish because they didn't already have an established tank! That doesn't even make sense because how could anyone ever have an established tank if they refused to sell fish without an established tank??! You have to start somewhere, and every person who owns a fish tank was once in the position where their tank wasn't already established. Make it make sense!
@@silvers_ink you can establish a tank without fish. A good cycled tank needs beneficial bacteria, which feed on fish waste products and (mostly) clean the water and maintain the PH. You can buy the waste product they feed on in chemical form, and you can also buy starter bacteria. you then spend....i think its like 4-6 weeks? growing your beneficial bacteria. You track this by continuing to add the chemical food to the water, then test the water and track PH changes. Once the beneficial bacteria can keep the PH level stable, you can safely add fish

My parents bought me three goldfish when I was about four to teach me about loss under the assumption that they wouldn’t live very long… two of them lived seven years and one lived ten. RIP Goldie, Porky, and Chicken. You were the best fish a kid could ask for.
My aunt used to have 2 beta fish in tiny glass bowls with a bamboo plant sticking out. I remember being 10 and thinking 'that ain't right' 🤔🥺 poor guys barely lived for a month
What bothers me about some stores is that they “package“ the bettas in really cute little vases (which I’ve always assumed it was only for giftgiving purposes before they got into their actual tank) and people who don’t know better seem to believe that that’s where they should stay. Stores should know better than to sell living creatures like trinkets and I hope they go beyond that point someday.
my brother had a nice, pretty big tank with a few fish in it, and when he moved, he left the tank and we moved in the place. I took care of the fish, because seeing how my mother treated them was terrible and when he finally took the tank home (after a few months) he forgot one fish behind and my mother had it in a jar of pickles (without the pickles of course). I felt so sorry for the guy, it was obvious how he was going insane in that small space but I couldn't do anything. He unfortunately (or rather fortunately) died in approx a month which is damn surprising, he tried so hard

Hey! Could you please name drop these creators more? If a known celeb did this, I wouldn't beat around the bush about this cruelty. It sickens me to think that these people could just apply to any pet store or even study to become a vet. If someone intentionally drops hamsters to their demise, I don't personally feel comfortable not holding them personally accountable. A name drop is such a small step.

I wanted fish, but I did a bit of research into it, and it's a lot of initial cost for a nice setup, and maintenance. And decided it wasn't for me. Now I just play BBC sea life documentaries on my projector and watch it with my cats. Ez and doesn't cause any harm. :D
That's cute haha
In the US some stores have aquarium sales that put them up for $1 per gallon. So, they can be VERY CHEAP here. Depending on what you get, you could potentially put together a pretty decent
Especially if you went for a three gallon tank for a single betta
Also in a pet store near me they keep beta fish in TINY tanks it shocked me :( they where in a 5 by 5 by 5 inch cube and they looked rough. They looked sad, had no plants or anything, just an empty cube with a sad fish, their fins looked torn and they had scales missing. Basically they looked beat up :/
They only keep them in those temporarily for display, most stores do this
@@beththegreen i hope it was temporary because they didn’t look very healthy but thanks for letting me know :)
@@mialeaver435 sorry to let you know that they are not for display, those are the actual homes and then many pass away each day and they all have fin rot and other diseases. Also they never inform people how to care for them so they get kept in enclosures of the same size when bought.
@@Velociiraptor omg really :( poor fish tysm for telling me I really appreciate it and I like to be told the truth ❤️
@@beththegreen In the US it is not for display. They’re either sold in those tiny cups or they die in those cups and get thrown away in the trash. Often in our local big chain pet stores you can walk right in and find many dead or near death still on the shelf.

Ah yes 50 dollar Walmart challenge, sounds like a recipe for impulse buying.
Geesh, I wonder who invented that "challenge".
@@Zerg435I sure do wonder…
Was goldfish lady okay? She seemed like she was going into a bit of a manic or psychosis episode. I don't follow her to know what she's normally like, but her general demeanour was very similar to that of people I've seen entering an episode.
The mom making a "tank" for her kids? Yeah something about her rubbed me the wrong way. I hope everyone is okay there.
I had hamsters all throughout my childhood and even I knew to be careful when handling them because they were so small. I had a friend who would take them out of the cage and put them on the floor/on my bed or would want to take them outside in the backyard and I had to pretty much beg her not to do that.
The $50 challenge isn't impossible, I got my betta's 5 gallon tank in a kit with cover/light and a filter for $35 at walmart. I probably spent more on the fish/live plants/sand substrate. But if somebody's gunna do a $50 challenge with absolutely no regard for the fish's health and wellbeing, why not the $5 challenge with a vase from the thrift store and a couple of $1 guppies? /sarcasm
Omg actually my local thrift store was selling male and female guppies for like fifty cents they had them right at the register in bowls no filter no anything just a bowl and for like a dollar you could get the bowl. I wanted to throw up it was so bad
I understand that initial supplies can be $50 or under, but water testing kits, filter changes, will come out to wayyyy more than $50. So why did he even do this challenge in the first place?
Even if you get the tank and the filter for $35, you still need to purchase a heater, food, a water testing kit, and the betta itself. You’re going to end up going over 50 dollars for the bare minimum. Let alone if you want to consider substrate, filter replacements, any medications the fish might need from living in those horrible pet store conditions….
I’m not trying to be a jerk, but you either spent more than $50 or you didn’t properly prepare to get the fish.
I have a kitten and she murders any small animal or bug that walks in front of her. The second I saw that person put the hamster in front of the cat I was screaming. Who the hell thought this would work out.
I saw one of those disturbing lives with the hamsters, wish I would have reported it but I scrolled past because it was hard to watch, also TikTok does NOT take action when I do report disturbing content like this at ALL!!!
You could get a decent tank for $50 in USA if you know what you are doing, particularly if you find a deal on craigslist or offerup and are willing to clean and rehab a dirty tank someone is getting rid of. Also petco does their 'dollar per gallon sale' on tanks once or twice a year but the tanks that are part of that sale don't come with anything included so you have to add on filter, lights, hood or cover possibly, and a stand probably.
People like the cheap plastic starter kits because they are cheap and they are "everything you need" even though they are all tiny and made of plastic that decays and gets brittle over time not to mention what it might do to the water. The better quality 'starter kits' cost upwards of $60 for a 5 gallon or $75 for a 10 gallon. Which is still worth it if you care about your fish.
@Rat_in_a_bucket I've both bought and sold preowned tanks and even gotten some for free here or there from people. And often people are eager to get rid of them because they take up kind of a lot of space, so you can get a good deal if you're willing to travel and pickup from them.
The one downside is that it depends a lot on what's available in your area but other than that it's the way to go.
By far one of my favourite pet RUclipsrs, not only because they know so much about such a variety of animals, but also because they genuinely really care about their own animals, ethicality behind their breeding, and things like invasive species and the environment. They spread such important information, like not mixing predator and prey animals or not releasing your animals/burying or dumping dead pets. The mixing predator and prey animals really gets me, I see it all the time, people thinking it’s cute, that the animals are friends, etc. Like, honestly, just why, anything can happen, one of them can get spooked, it takes one second, WHY would you risk something so horrible like that so that your animals can completely unnecessarily be friends!? Gets on my nerves. And then the idiots are SO surprised when it ends badly and their pet is seriously injured or even killed!
Glad to know that doing research pays off. I'm getting a baby sulcata tortoise soon, and I definitely don't want him dying on the first day because of me being ignorant.

The hamster one is gross for the flinging. My hamster, the larger kind, had 14 babies (not through my doing). Her nest was next to her enclosed wheel and sometimes they would go in but she was good about removing them back to nest. Every single one of her babies survived to the separation stage. She was so friendly and loved my hand in there distracting the babies so she could leave. She had one of those plastic cages with one of the tubes connecting to a tank behind it.
I had a hamster when I was a kid, my sisters friend threw it at a wall and she had done it so much to her own hampster she immediately knew it was in shock… I haven’t gotten a hamster since because every single person I have met mistreats their hamsters and I’m so scared I’d let someone hold them

I love your channel so much! Your channel has taught me a lot about animals! I first came across your channel I think from a "rating subscribers pet enclosure" video or something similar. Which you talked about guinea pig cage sizes in one of those videos. I didn't even realize my cage I had for my guinea pig was way too small and your channel made me realize that so I could buy a way bigger cage for my guinea pig so he could be so much happier! 💗
Glad you helped your guinea pig from one of Soda Pet's videos 😄
The best analogy I made with myself about why such a small fish needs a big tank is pretty simple, actually!
You need a house or just a room to live comfortably? A house obviously
A house in the size of a room wouldn't be comfy for you because it would be way too tight for everything you need to do!
I am a new teacher wanting to have a classroom fish for my students, but I have zero experience with keeping a fish and am terrified of accidentally hurting one (and traumatizing my students). The more research I’ve done, the more complicated caring for a fish has seemed. Watching your videos has really made me want to look into it again, though. Any suggestions for an “easy” first-time fish? I have a 5 gallon tank with a filter that someone gave me.
As a former fish owner of some of the "easy" fish like guppies, I don't think any fish is a good idea as a classroom pet because they are expensive and high maintenance and you would need a second aquarium at your home to transfer the fish to during weekends and holidays and summer break. Doing aquarium water changes takes a lot of time and is pretty messy and you would be lugging a bucket or two of water to wherever the closest bathroom is which might be far from your classroom. Fish themselves can be quite fragile and might die unexpectedly in a short amount of time even if you did everything right, they can't be handled by the kids which is probably a bummer for them, and the kids are DEFINITELY going to tap the glass no matter how many times you tell them it's bad for the fish. I'd also be worried about some kids doing something that might harm the fish more directly like putting objects in the aquarium that might be toxic or trying to catch the fish when you aren't looking.

Seeing bettas in tiny tanks has always bothered me. I had one for years, in a 20 gallon. They're so much more personalitied with space. He had a bestfriend who was a neon tetra, they went everywhere together and were always very active. It was also the only fish in the tank my beta allowed to exist.
For the baby hamster one, 💢THE TANK IS A PLASTIC BOX💢
Okay but the froglet boat one was so friggin adorable 🥹
one time there was a tiktok vid with climbing perch and they kept them in a tank with no water except for a small dish. looked more like a reptile terrarrium and the fish were all just flopping around and crowding around the tiny water dish trying to breathe
I love that my pet store allows us to deny sales if people don’t seem like they know what they’re doing and we educate them and we make people cycle their tanks
The one where the hamster was knocked into the floor by the cat was despicable. My old hamster was the exact same size and colour of that one. And to see that, how can they let that happen. How dare they let that happen. Disgusting human being.
Can we all agree that that frog was chilling like he was just on that little boat like there is no worries in the world❤
Oh man.. this one was a heavy one to watch.. im a long time hamster mom and seeing this breaks my heart. The fact that people give money to disgusting people like that..its.. damn😢
when i was younger i had a couple bettas, and im really sad to admit that we didnt really take good care of them. the typical mall tank, no filter, just pebbles and fake plants, all that. since then i've learned more about properly keeping animals, and it just makes me feel sad and guilty that theres still so many fish owners like that out there

11:42 this litterally bought tears to my eyes, whoever did this is a sick human being.
the only way a cat n hamster would be friends is if you raised them from birth together, and even then when the kitten is older, its instincts would get stronger when it reaches adulthood (a year old or so) that it would priobably still attack the hamster at that point

A 1.5 gallon tank is too small for a living fish but you could put a robotic toy fish in it for a kid's room as long as they learn how to properly clean the tank and take out the robotic toy fish when they aren't in use....
6:00. I accidentally dropped my gerbil once from a very small height but it scared the living shit out of me, we made sure she was fine and it did seem like it. She luckily made it to three years of age
For the longest time I thought that fish were just "bad" pets because they died easily... Until I realized that it's just all too common for people to get fish without doing any research, or getting a proper living space.
Thank you educating people, animal abuse is very bad and it's easy to be sucked in with the crime by simply watching the videos, giving them airtime.
I think that puffer was a green spotted puffer. Really cool fish.
This is just heartbreaking… I came across the live before and three of the baby hamsters died. From head trauma. All the guy did was put them

The baby hamster one made me so mad like how can people do that and laugh at it??!
I've been keeping fish for almost as long as I have been alive (I am 45) and the whole "tank cycling" thing is still something I'm on the fence on. I've kept fish in both (but still use water conditioners to make the water safe as well as bacteria boosts) and I don't really see a difference in the health of my fish either way. I do my weekly water changes, etc and normal upkeep as needed, and never had an issue in a "cycled" versus "uncycled" tank. I am always willing to learn new things and adopt them (which is why I no longer keep my Bettas in tiny, unheated and unfiltered bowls, but actual 5 to 10 gallon tanks) but I'm still not sure "cycling" actually does anything at all, despite what I've read on it by fish keepers who swear by it.
But the rest of this video really is absolutely horrific and I agree with the people saying you should call them out by name. I've seen things like this done before with actually good results.
The bird in the background sounds like he's pretty agitated with these tiktoks as well!
Edit: finished the video and I'm going to be ill. That was hard to stomach.
"Oh my hamster died in the most hilarious wa-" Abuse. Thats not even funny.
I know multiple ppl who have had fish in child hood and their parents put them in a vase, one of them bought a new beta every week
I found an insta account with a dog and a rabbit, but it's surprisingly really good from what I've seen. The dog has never shown any body language or behavior to show that he wants to harm the rabbit. I believe she said she doesn't leave them alone unsupervised, but the dog and rabbit cuddle and it's kinds cute, but they've clearly been properly introduced and the dog doesn't perceive the bunny as prey. I can't remember the exact name, but it's some combo of the pets' names, which are Bear (dog) and Mighty Smols (bunny). Idk if what they're doing is ok or not but it doesn't seem like it's harmful to either as long as the dog doesn't one day see the bunny as prey
Just make sure neither animal looks exhausted I guess, that’s a telltale sign that something ain’t right
"that is not a fish tank. that is a vase" LITERALLY WORD FOR WORD WHAT I THOUGHT 😂 and i dont even own any or know much about fish
Over where I live the nearest pet shop is ages away and if you haven't had a cycled tank for over 1/2 weeks they won't sell you a fish which I find quite nice that they care about the fishes well being and wants them to have a long healthy life❤️ anyway I love the vids❤️
my faith in pet stores is restored, thank you
(puts a fish in a shotglass) "they love it!"
Those poor baby hamsters deserve better. Also, I have been thinking about getting a fish, so thanks for telling me! I will keep that in mind :)
"WhAt ShOuLd We NaMe ThEm?" Dead and Deader.
I am happy to have found a young woman who thinks , an intelligent young woman aware that animals are not toys , and must be respected , cared for and loved , you have my admiration and respect forever.
I find it disgusting, cowardly and cruel people using animals to have vews, doing all kinds of evil with them, I get very angry with everything these idiots do with animals.
9:50 OMG this is my worst nightmare when im doing a water change. i feel bad even when my plants go though that
Its not the animal abuse that scares me anymore. Its the normalisation of harming and exploiting these beautiful animals. And how people enjoy it. Disgusting.
Me and my mom bought a ball python impulsively. Luckily, we had a really large tank that a friend of her’s wanted to sell because it was empty. It had old, completely dry pinewood in the background. We got a uv light, a basking light, MULTIPLE hides and water bowls (for additional use) etc etc. He has yet to eat, but he’s at least confident. He’s climbed up the branches three times so far. He’s a very confident little boy. His shed was a beautiful “full” piece (it tore when we took it out)
Sorry for rambling, I just love him so much
The person doing that to those baby hamsters… needs to be placed on a merry go round and not let off even if he vomits….just keep it spinning 👍
The frog at the end made my day though lmao
Someone should use a motorcycle wheel to spin the merry-go-round really fast.
@@gircakes yes 👍
Jesus, that wheel of death on the hampsters one. Those poor hampsters
I don't understand how people can learn about water temperature and acclimatization and stuff, while at the same time be ignorant about things that even I know! And I know absolutely nothing about fish, except that it's complicated.
My Mother has a number of fish tanks. One of which is quite small. As a rule we only ever use that tank grow plants for the other MUCH larger tanks, and to prep various other bits of enrichment. My Mother likes to collect, clean and use driftwood in the fish tanks. She'll clean the wood and than put it in the smaller tank so it can release the majority of it's tannins. Once that process is finished she'll move it over to the larger tanks. In my personal opinion this is the ONLY way such a small tank should be used.
