IMHO, the wrong low-intelligence creature got flushed down the toilet. What a moron.

Onion couldn’t have come up with a zanier bit.

[JoSixChip]

Did she have papers on it?

[Gay State Conservative]

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?

[Alas Babylon!]

A DWARF hamster?

Just stick in your bra. Who would then know?

[mass55th]

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.

[MNDude]

This is story is so tragic, yet so funny.

[piasa]

Seems to me her poor emotional support hamster needed an emotional support pit bull.

[Hugin]

Too bad it wasn’t a gerbil. I’m sure one of the flight attendants could have found somewhere to put it.

[exDemMom]

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.

[Snickering Hound]

Not Guilty. And there are plenty of Miami democrats that would offer their own personal smuggling compartment to hide her gerbil.

[blueplum]

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.

[enduserindy]

I’m seeing a cruelty to animals charge that comes with a confession.

[Mark]

My loaded 9mm handgun gives me emotional support. All aboard!

[SkyDancer]

Hamster probably thought "well this is nuts, I ain't flyin' no more"

As a crew member it wouldn't have bothered me a bit, just put the critter in a little box with air holes, a wet sponge for water and stick it in your carry on. No biggie.

[Panhandle.deporable]

If true, she will sue and make a lot of money in a nice settlenent

[Kriggerel]

As has been said on a few other sites: If she was that desperate to get the hamster on the flight, Richard Gere could have given her good advice on how to do it...

[1_Inch_Group]

LOL....what?

[the OlLine Rebel]

So, in addition to the plane off the taxiway yesterday at BWI, we had this bizarre sad story of a girl putting her little pet down a toilet on the say-so of an airline worker? Some time after her cancelled ticket?

Wow. This is so odd from so many angles. Sad but stupid.

[Hoffer Rand]

I said this on the other thread, and I’ll say it again. I hope her parents are paying attention and don’t make her their medical power of attorney. She’s an idiot and completely unable to handle stress.
