Student, 21, sues Spirit airline after she flushed her 'emotional support HAMSTER' down the toilet
Daily Mail ^ | 02/08/2018 | Daily Mail

A student who flushed her hamster down the toilet when Spirit told her she couldn't fly home with it, is now attempting to sue the airline for causing emotional distress.

Aldecosea, a Miami Beach High graduate, insists her doctor approved her hamster as a certified emotional support animal, and had the medical certificate to prove it when she went to the airport.

She's bought the adorable rodent after developing a large but benign growth in her neck last year.

'She was so loving. It was like she knew I needed somebody,' said Aldecosea, a six-feet tall volleyball star who helped lead her school, Miami Beach to back-to-back National District Championships and was named Most Valuable Player, before joining Barry University in Florida where she joined the volleyball team.

Good thing she didn’t have a “emotional support pig”

It would have clogged the toilet.

Just sayin’

Something is strange about this story. I read several different stories about this, and the woman involved (Belen Aldecoasea) is said to be attending at least four different colleges - each story has her attending a different one:
Barry University in south Florida, Texas State University, Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and Maryville College in Maryville, Tennesee. Either the story is a hoax, or she doesn’t seem to be able to stay on one school for very long.

“Quite the camel toe. I’d call that an emotional support animal.”

Ms. Camel Toe, I’d like to introduce you to Mr. Trouser Snake. Please comfort each other.

A coworker went on vacation, and got a friend to stop by to feed and water the offspring's hamster.

It died.

He said "I kind of wished the wife didn't tell the friend to stick it in freezer if it died, even if it was wrapped in plastic."

This is really getting out of hand.

Pretty soon, I won’t be able to bring my emotional support rattlesnake ‘Nippy’ anywhere...

According to the article, "Aldecosea says she accepted a later flight on Spirit to figure out what to do with her hamster, and claims she contacted six rental car agencies to try and hire a car, but says that every single company was out of cars."

Sure...every single car rental agency at the airport was out of cars. Of course she could have hired an Uber and gone to a car rental place outside of the airport.

Flushed it down a toilet? A sad waste. Should've found someone traveling with a cat.

Didn't she have it in a cage? Or at least a box that could've been taped shut.

Where’s the rest of the camel?

The true example of the lib insanity prevalent today will be the $3MM award she is given in the lawsuit.

The hamster supposedly meant that much to her but when inconvenienced she killed it in a fairly Inhumane manner. What a psycho.

LOL. An emotional support kitty cat would have also worked.

Killing an animal for food in a humane manner isn’t animal cruelty. This otoh was pure selfishness on her part.

Truth is, the little girl probably survived the flush, and even the trip through the line. Her demise most likely came from being dumped in the nearest manhole with no way out, combined with sewer gases. Would’ve tried to stay on those small ledges around the bottom. Death may have taken days.

They are VERY comfortable, yet they are basically padded fiberglass shells that don’t recline.

...

Reclining airline seats are the worst invention. Ever.
