1) you can! You are a winner and you deserve a nice dog! Get a rescue though

2) Gal Godot is from Israel. Nelson Mandela is from South Africa. The list goes on and on, of people who are from places....

Spirit Airlines rep probably made the "flush it down the toilet" comment as a complete joke (*IF* they even really said this at all, because she could be making that part up). Guess it back-fired because the woman truly is a moron and actually did that.

Good luck to any guy that wants to be with her. You're in for a wild ride. My advice: Don't even get on that ride. Woman is bat-sh!t crazy.

Absolutely agree! She flushed the animal. There is something not right with this women. Hope she is haunted by her actions every day for the rest of her life.

She looks dumb as a bag of rocks. typical millennial.

I literally don't know what to think of this story. It literally looks like something from The Onion.

But why leave out the part that she called Spirit twice to confirm that she could take the animal on the flight and they told her that she could? Then, when she arrived at the airport they denied her access with the animal. She tried to rent a car to drive but the rentals were sold out. She switched flights to try to find an alternative and came up empty.

Not saying she made a great decision but Spirit is not without blame in this.

Spirit Airlines f-ed up? Shocking!

Someone made a mistake. Guess what? Mistakes, accidents, unforeseen incidents happen all the time. That’s life. How a person chooses to deal with difficult moments is their own responsibility and defines who they are. Blaming others for your actions is just bs.

I once rented a car months in advance. Flew to destination. They had no car for me. Could I then go out and steal a car and blame the car rental company? Was their error license for me to kill a hamster or do whatever I wanted if that got me a rental car? Try and think.

She’s a 21 year old college student. She had 8 hours to find something to do with her pet. Hell, she had as long as she wanted. The solution to flush her beloved emotional supportive animal down the toilet is not a choice any normal person would make. This is on her.

You moron, the airline had nothing to do with this psychopaths actions. If you got to the airport and were told you couldn't take your dog (which actually happens if the temps are to high or low) would you break its neck and leave it in the lobby or open the crate and set it free in the parking lot? I would think what she did is a crime.

The fact that she's attempting to get $ for killing her pet Is sick! South Beach *itch who was home sick in the PA winter gets a zit on her neck and drops out of school to go sunbathe at Miami Beach and we are supposed to feel sorry for her? Please! I'm guessing she has deleted her social media account but I'm sure there are screenshots floating around out there.

My thought exactly. If I showed up someplace with my dog, and the lackey working the front desk was like "if you want to use our service, you'll have to kill your dog," I really wouldn't consider the proposition for even a second. My pup and I would be on our way home together without hesitation.

I happen to live in PA, so I know that there are doctors and medical centers here just like there are in Florida. If she really had a condition that needed to be treated without delay, she could have sought treatment somewhere that didn't require air travel. If her condition did not require immediate treatment, she could have gone home and taken her time to figure something else out. There is no way that her situation was so urgent that she actually had to board that plane at that moment.

Bingo.

You nailed it. If it was a dog. she'd have been arrested immediately. She should be arrested as by her own admission she supposedly needs this animal so much that she has to fly with it. Yet she's told she can't fly with it so her option is to kill it.

I'd be pissed at Spirit. I mean it could ruin a trip but that doesn't give you the right to kill it.

Hey, they had to "talk her down" from committing suicide by running herself to death on a giant hamster wheel.

Spirit's conduct was outrageous! You can't blame her! She's only a kid!

"This was a highly stressful situation and people react in a lot of different ways," he said. "She's only 21 years old, a kid still."

"She's distraught," Goodman said. "Imagine anyone in that situation that has to make a choice like that. It was a horrible situation, and she's still distraught."

It's a real life Sophie's Choice! No one should be put in such a horrible situation! I am shocked, chagrined, mortified, and stupefied!

Spirit Airlines sucks, that's true, but no excuse for her behavior.

She could have abandoned it in a store or something and likely the animal would have been caught and given to animal control. Or, she could have handed it to someone who was exiting the airport and asked them to drop it off at a shelter. There are animal lovers everywhere. Ask 20 people and you'd have found one. There were dozens of better solutions than killing it.

Hey precious snowflakes! Hamsters are rodents like guinea pigs, mice, gerbils and rats. Rodents are snake, bird and cat food.

Unchecked, rodents are pests that must be exterminated. They carry and cause disease outbreaks that kill millions of innocent people.

In South America, these guinea pigs are large enough for human consumption.

Mmmm. Delicious guinea pig!

Nice troll. Good catch.

When did 21 become child? You can join the military at 18 without parental consent - go off and fight for your country, make those sorts of very real life and death decisions - but when it comes to life or death decisions over a hamster, a 21 year old is still a child. That lawyer is shameless or an idiot.

She was travelling home to treat a medical condition which she believed to be urgent. She likely was not in the best mental state (my life versus the rodent's life!). What should she have done?

Gal Godot would definitely be a great support animal......

An emotional support hamster; I now know what I saw at a mall a few years ago.

A young woman was sitting on a bench outside a Piercing Pagoda and a hamster was sitting beside her, his arm on her shoulder and saying over and over, "There, there, now don't you fret. "

It was actually quite touching.
