Thailand Bettas

[HODDY]

Hi ive wondered that in thailand they keep there bettas in half galon jars/containers.And over in the uk and america people say 1g minimun.Are people form thailand,singapore and other countries like that eing cruel to the bettas?
After all bettas were found in thailand etc.I personaly don't know what to think.Rice paddies can be big and they can be small.But does that determine the size of the tank size?
Whats your opinions?

There not cruel, they just have over 100 bettas, imagine trying to house tht many in 1-2 gal. containers, that woul;d be hard

You can control the size of a tank. You can't control the size of a rice paddie in the wild
