Since I’m shadowbanned from the front page, I figured I’d bring the conversation over here where I can actually speak. Anyway, I’m talking about this:
https://jalopnik.com/this-story-about-someone-flushing-a-hamster-down-a-toil-1822842533
Now, I have a healthy disdain for probably at least half of the population of this planet, and have a history of not having a problem bringing violence or helping to bring violence on others due to a military background. I wish we could go back in time to when you could smack people for being assholes, and you wouldn’t get sued for finishing a fight someone else started with you.
But man, stuff like this about animals makes me sick to my stomach. I actually feel ill after reading that article. :( I guess I have far more compassion for fuzzy (and non-fuzzy) critters than I do for mankind.

Seemed like pretty reprehensible behavior to me. I work with rodents in my job, and I hate them all. However, I know how to treat them humanely. There are more merciful ways to kill one if you really need to than drowning like that.

As I posted on another thread, it most likely survived the flush to face a far more drawn out death. Not humane at all.

Absent any corroborating evidence, I don’t think she actually flushed the hamster, and that she’s another “I’ll be internet famous for acting like an asshat!” tool.

Probably true.

It’s fucked up to even suggest that someone flush a hamster down the toilet. It’s even more fucked up to follow through on that advice.
