Couldn’t she just find an emotional support python to feed it to?

Lol

Thread winner.

I still cry when I remember how an airline refused to let me fly with my emotional support alligator snapping turtle, “Cuddles.”

I have an emotional support trouser snake. Sometimes I just need to hold it.

Just IMO, if she were that in love with the hamster she wouldn’t have flushed it. I think worst case I’d have just set the cage and hamster down in the airport somewhere. However, if she’d just put the animal in her bag and not made a huge production out of the situation, no one would have ever known she had it.

Forget about finding a job. How is she ever going to find a husband? What man would want to be saddled with a fruitcake like that? If she would rather flush her pet down the toilet rather than miss a flight, what would she do if her baby was squalling or something?

Her name is not a common one either so any basic Internet search on "Belen Aldecosea" will yield immediate results on her for the next hundred years. So looks like she flushed her life down the drain as well.

We need to stop enabling mentally ill people.
I have a friend who rents apartments to college students (I do NOT envy her) - there is a clear “no pets” clause in the lease, yet she had a renter who requested to bring a support dog, which she hadn’t even yet obtained or gotten any documentation she needed one. People are trying to use the ADA to be perpetual infants who need coddling and animals to deal with life, or simply to bring pets into forbidden places.

We are on our second dwarf hamster. They only live about 2 years or so. So she probably would have had to say good-bye to it soon regardless.

I really like them - which surprises me. This one has quite a personality. I'll be sad when she dies.

She is not my "emotional support hamster" but I wouldn't be able bring myself to flush her down a toilet just to make a flight. The screaming hamsters would haunt me the rest of my days.

To all the people who think this is ‘animal cruelty’. Never worked on a farm have you? Or spent much time backpacking.

I guess she could have stomped on its head before she flushed it. But she probably didn’t grow up on a farm.

Rich people (most Americans are rich) get so divorced from reality. I understand that sadist cruelty to animals should not be allowed. But people’s definition of cruelty now is ridiculous.

The suit is frivolous. Some of the comments are silly. I recommend you go out bow hunting next fall. Take a bad shot and track a wounded, suffering, deer for a mile. And then it eat. Cause that is reality. Everything eats everything out there and it ain’t pretty.

all of us plumbers know if an elephant clogs up the pipe you suck the air out through it’s trunk. Deflate the elephant and then pump it back up after it’s removed. Surprised you don’t know that.

Excellent points about the unique name and end of romance for her. Career and life flushed. Look for her to change her name in the next few years.

What an idiot.

She could have hidden it in her purse and no-one would know.

What the airline did was incredibly stupid, and I predict that they’ll soon find that out.

Truly bad judgment. (and no, I don’t own a hamster)
