[wolf63]

I am not een on Hamsters but I don't think that would do something as cruel as this.

I am not 'keen' on Hamsters

[shoota]

Emotional support animals...?


I'm available if anyone needs one...

[Cloverjo]

She couldn't figure out another way to get home so she flushed her 'emotional support' pet down the loo? How did she get home then? Was she too traumatised to leave the airport without its 'support'? Ridiculous woman.

[Old_Geezer]

I'm puzzled as to why shoota wishes to be flushed down the lavatory ???

[1ozzy]

He doesn't OG.

He wants to snuggle into your lap.

That woman needs the services of a psychiatrist!

[wolf63]

It is quite a strange story. People often say we live in a throwaway society - it seems that, for some people, this Is true. :-(

'Beloved' pet?

Not that beloved was the poor creature.

[hereIam]

She's an utter moron. Poor little animal must have been terrified. I'd like to give her a slap.

[Voltage]

We've had 6 hamsters loved and looked after every one of them... I'd have got hold of the woman and stuffed her head down the toilet!!

I'll be surprised if the American RSPCA don't get involved.

[wolf63]

I hope that this story is either untrue or embellished.

I really don't understand people at the best of times.

There was a story on Yahoo yesterday about a family who threw their 'dead' hamster in the bin. It was merely hibernating and the bin men found it! It's now back home.

It's funny how people have managed to fly for decades but now they can't do it without emotional support animals. It's just a ploy to transport pets on the cheap. The woman should be prosecuted for animal cruelty. Instead of that though, she is trying to sue the airline.
