A college student said she flushed her emotional support hamster down the toilet after Spirit Airlines refused to let her bring her furry pet on the plane.
Belen Aldecosea, 21, of Miami Beach, Florida, told the Miami Herald that she contacted Spirit Airlines before her flight from Baltimore to South Florida on Nov. 21, 2017, regarding traveling with her dwarf hamster, Pebbles. Aldecosea claimed the airline told her it was not a problem to bring her hamster on the flight.

Onion couldn’t have come up with a zanier bit.
Did she have papers on it?
I’da let her stroke me for emotional support.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
America has become a cartoon.
“I wuz JUST KIDDING, Belen! Geez, can’t you get a joke?!!!”
Any adult who’s not a combat vet who needs an “emotional support” animal is delusional and must not be “validated” by allowing said creature anywhere where “ordinary” animals are not allowed.
Where’s Richard Gere when you need him?
A DWARF hamster?
Just stick in your bra. Who would then know?
Too bad John F’n Kerry wasn’t on that plane so he could jump in the toilet to rescue the hamster, and give it mouth to mouth.
This is story is so tragic, yet so funny.
Seems to me her poor emotional support hamster needed an emotional support pit bull.
emotional support DWARF hamster
help me god - this is too funny
Too bad it wasn’t a gerbil. I’m sure one of the flight attendants could have found somewhere to put it.
This is a weird story.
Another version I read said that she cancelled her flight when she found out she couldn’t take the hamster on board. Then she went and drowned it. It seems to me that if she cancelled her flight, she could have just taken it home and asked someone to take care of it for her, then gone back to get another flight.
I’m thinking the girl has mental issues, which are far beyond the ability of an “emotional support hamster” to solve.
Not Guilty. And there are plenty of Miami democrats that would offer their own personal smuggling compartment to hide her gerbil.
Yep, story makes no sense.
Hey jack a$$ lots of other people get PTSD too. Medics, first responders, cops, fire fighters, and abuse victims.
A plane ticket was more important than an emotional support animal?
And flushed into the chemical soup of an airplane toilet?
That animal needed emotional support and got none in return. Poor little critter.
I’m seeing a cruelty to animals charge that comes with a confession.
