Thats cruel to fish just abdanden them at a pet shop just to be killed. After the policy went into effect, customers aren't told about what happens to the fish after they donate them.

So when they don't tell you what they dothat means that they will kill it? What amanichen is talking about isn't the case with all pet stores. I know a lot of stores in my area will gladly take donations and then they sell them. Some stores will even pay you a small amount for fish you give them. If you're concerned, ask the employees and if you don't have a good feeling about it then don't go through with it.

It's also been two and a half years since I worked there, so things may have changed, and it may be up to the individual store to decide. Generally, I'd take any fish as a donation as long as it appeared to be healthy, and it doesn't take me much time at all to figure that out.
