You have to realize that when you buy one, they replace it with another, if not twice as many, since they are making money off of it. That means by your actions of 'saving' one betta, you are also encouraging them to sell even more cup bettas.
As consumers, we DO have the power to dictate what the stores do and do not sell. A look at walmart's fish department over the past few years is an example of that. They've reduced or completely eliminated live fish from many stores already.
If people stop buying them and express a strong opinion against it and the stores ethics in general, then something will be done. The stores are in it for the money (it's a business), after all.
The only solution is to boycott it and to educate everyone you know.
