Not a good decision to try to take an emotional support hamster on spirit airlines, which charges for everything and has the worst ratings of any American airline.
She should have gone AMTRAK, much safer.

AMTRAK is NOT much safer. That's a lie promulgated by the Emotional Support Hamster Support Society.

Clearly is WAS the airline's fault.
They DID suggest the flushing, did they not?
The DID provide a toilet for said flushing, did they not?
Certainly they should take full responsibility. As should the maker of said toilet, the local water utility for providing the water for said flushing and God for making gravity assist with the ungodly work of said toilets.
I rest my case.
So, if someone tells you shove your head up your are, and you do it, and don't like it, you will sue.

Take your "empathy" and shove it! She will get on with her life just fine.
LOL . . . HardLoper, as expected, cums to jamin's defense, yet again. . . . That is so g h e y.
What kind of snowflake uses a hamster for emotional support anyway? You want REAL anxiety and emotional support you go with a Honey Badger. Everybody knows this.

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.
YES!
This reminds me of the saying. "If X told you to jump off a cliff, would you?" Sometimes you have to question what people tell you to do. Apparently, this person didn't learn that lesson and cruelly killed an innocent animal. No backbone. Shame.

Not to mention there is no evidence anyone said this to her. It’s just the story of an emotionaly disturbed woman who needed an emotional support hamster and then murdered that same hamster by flushing it down a toilet. She’s not exactly a credible witness.
When I was living on a tropical island, my housemate adopted a cat and it had 4 kittens. One day I returned and saw only 2. "What happened to the other 2?" I asked him. "I am concerned about animal overpopulation on this island so I threw 2 in the ocean".
I wish I had an emotional support llama.

Try the Dali Llama.
States not an emergency and not life threatening. Come on! If she was that critical she would have been treated in PA. She is mentally skewed stop defending her actions.
I get it, now wrote:
A few serious questions:
1. Do the emotional support hamsters wear those little vests like the therapy dogs?
2. How are the hamsters who have the temperament for emotional support identified in the litter. Is it like picking lab pups for seeing eye work?
3. Where are the training centers for emotional support hamsters?
4. Can certain animals of any species be trained for emotional support work? For example, could I find an emotional support praying mantis?

If you see an emotional support hamster on a toilet bowl rim, is it ok to pet it, or do you need to respect the fact that it might be working?
Spirit airlines has made a statement about the case. They said that she didn't have to flush it down the toilet, but there is a $30 fee for the first hamster to be set free, and $50 for each additional hamster.
she should have bundled it in some socks and carried it on. They ship illegal pets and wildlife in tubes for days and they survive. The Hamster could have survived the flush. the pipes are not full of water or feces. The sewer pipe would have run to a septic tank where eventually be pumped out to a city treatment plant. that little rodent would have clung to some floating debris in the tank and survived for days and the temp in those tanks can be pretty warm.
Gal Gadot is definitely worth waiting for. I don’t think Gal Godot is ever going to show up, though. It’s been awhile.
An important point. wrote:
Your questions bring up an important point - there is no evidence this hamster actually died. We need to remember this is a specially trained support hamster, whose very training makes it uniquely able to not just survive, but to help a human survive. Sure, an ordinary hamster flushed down a toilet the odds wouldn't be good., but an emotional support hamster is like the special forces of hamsters. If anyone was going to survive that flushing, it would be him. I bet he's alive somewhere saving the lives of other hamsters being flushed, living as a hero among the flushed hamster community in the sewers. Maybe she shouldn't have flushed him, but in doing so, she created a hamster hero.
This would make an amazing Disney movie.
Hamster Heroes!
