        Apparently, she didn't give a rat's abt the first hamster. They're clearly disposable to her. So how can she make a case? How was flushing her precious"emotional support" pet even an option let alone her final decision?

        Replacement? This woman should not be permitted to have any pet again, ever. Furthermore, she should be prosecuted for killing the first one.

        She had many options. She could've left it with airport security. Called animal control, left it with the airport police. Even abandoning it in the airport would be been preferable. She should be charged with animal cruelty and her current pet removed. What a lowlife

        Why isn’t she charged with animal cruelty?

        This is disturbing. This is not someone who recognizes her responsibility for an animal in her care. I do hope someone is looking into removing this current pet as she seems incapable of using proper judgement.

        This woman claims she needs a support-animal yet she heartlessly killed the one she already had? I pray she is prosecuted for what she has done and is tortured by the memory of what she did 4 the rest of her days, just as the innocent little soul was in his last moments of life.

        There is no excuse for that. There are several options available. I think this needs a closer look.

        I'd no sooner make the choice between my pet and a seat on a plane than the man in the moon. "Emotional support hamster?" Apparently she wasn't that traumatized at killing her pet. What a b&^%ch

        I’m sorry but the fact you could kill that little hamster doesn’t seem like you needed that much, I don’t even know how you could go that and the fact you could have taken it if you took a later flight , it’s disgusting ,
