TikTok mom called out for animal abuse by keeping fish in vases \u201cas decorations\u201d Alettoshawty\/TikTokA TikTok mom named Alettoshawty has been called out by viewers on the platform after sharing that she keeps fish as decorations in vases and wall-mounted domes. TikToker Alettoshawty, whose real name is Natalie Hamilton has been known by her 220,000 followers for her relatable mom content. However, she\u2019s recently come under fire as she showed off how she keeps her beta fish as decorations. In a now-deleted video, Natalie shared her children\u2019s bath time routine where she also showed off her beta fish in a small vase on the bathroom counter. She also showed one in a small dome on the wall and another in a small vase. When people started to criticize her and accuse her of animal abuse, Natalie was quick to say that the fish are \u201cthriving\u201d since she\u2019d had them for a couple months and they\u2019re still alive. \u201cWhat else do you have fish for? Yes, you take care of them, but they\u2019re decoration for your house,\u201d she claimed. \u201cI don\u2019t know who I\u2019m offending but I don\u2019t really care to be honest,\u201d Natalie said. \u201cAnd I am taking care of their basic needs by feeding them and cleaning their bowl. But I don\u2019t know if anyone has ever like put a beta fish in like a 10 gallon tank, it just sounds ridiculous. And I put mine in little bowls, vases, whatever. I don\u2019t care. \u201cIt seems a little bit smaller in the video, but they\u2019re actually not that small. And honestly, I don\u2019t care, this is the last time I\u2019m talking about my fish.\u201d While some people agreed with Natalie about fish \u201cjust being fish,\u201d others have called out the TikToker for animal abuse. One person wrote: \u201cThe one fish on the WALL?! I am so heartbroken for that poor fish. They aren\u2019t \u201cdecorations\u201d. They\u2019re a living creature. This is so sad.\u201d Another commented: \u201cBabe such a weird take lmfaoooo animals are not decoration lmfao.\u201d \u201cAs decoration\u201d girl, wtf they\u2019re living creatures. Weird af,\u201d a third wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
