Big Als in Vancouver is killing aros!!!!!

I went by Big Als in Richmond (near Vancouver) here in Canada to find they had put 4 four inch green aros in a tank with 2 seven inch RTG's and 1 foot long gold crossback. The green aros will all be dead within two days, tops. Two of them are now missing tails (completely), while the other two are so beaten up they look like hamburger. When I complained to a store worker he told me he was just following orders to keep them all together. When I complained to a manager, he told me that the fish would "figure it out within a week" and that it was ok because they were going to add more aros soon!!!! When I told him that RTG's are the most agressive variety and should not be mixed with smaller greens he was silent. This tells me that Big Al's knows next to nothing about their asian aros. They don't seem to care that they are killing them. As far as I am concerned they are a disgrace to the hobby and should be boycotted in Vancouver at least for their horrible treatment of their aros. Thanks for letting me vent my anger.
