This 21 year old flushed her hamster down the toilet because she wasn't allowed to take it on the flight. She was less than two hours from her college and had switched flights so had 8 hours to find somewhere for it, or give it away. Instead she says the airline told her she could release it or flush it and she choose to flush the hamster, which provided her with so much support, down the toilet. She is blaming the airline and is going to sue.
Even if someone did suggest she flush her rodent down the toilet, which they deny, how can this be anybody's fault but hers. This wasn't that huge of a problem to solve. She's not a child and she's smart enough to go to college. All she's done by reporting this is bring on the a whole lot of trouble her way, as this was all her decision.

She def is

I'd like to preface my response by stating if you have an emotional support hamster, you probably have more issues than emotional ones. This crazy woman was born to sue.

Kid in my college dorm did the same thing. His hamsters had babies(maybe 5-10) and he wasn’t happy with all of them so he flushed them down the toilet.
For real... -

If you just let them starve in a cage for a while theyll eventually kill and eat eachother. Like a hamster hunger games. Mine are querently in the first quarter quell and my big boy johnny has started trampling the others instead of eating them... -
Maybe it's just me, but I feel you have to be pretty messed up to flush an animal down the toilet. That's just cruel.

There are superior disposal methods.

I prefer the emotional support peacock. Try flushing this badass down the toilet.

"A 21 year old woman flushed her "emotional support" hamster...".

Jamin should call her. She might need support

What did the toilet say about this? -
I literally nearly felt sick hearing that story. That's horrible. I couldn't imagine done that, but I am as normal as they come so no animal need's to worry about me done that. Does any people here feel like a support animal would be good for them? What would your ideal support animal be? I wish I had a support Alaskan Malamute. I also enjoy Artic fox's and Snow Leopards but they are just a dream.(I know you can't literally just buy them anywhere like a Malamute). I was literally thinking of what Bekele would have. I could imagine him with a yellow fronted parrot(only found in the Ethiophian highlands). Bekele is from Ethiophia.

So she's saying she didn't really need it? It was a test and she failed.
Personally I smuggle mine aboard in a special case. -

Not even close. -
News from November.
“She was scared. I was scared. It was horrifying trying to put her in the toilet,” Aldecosea told The Miami Herald of the incident, which happened in November. “I was emotional. I was crying. I sat there for a good 10 minutes crying in the stall.”

LOL
but seriously, what attorney would take this case on contingency? -
Hopefully an animal rights group will go after her. Pipes are not full of water all the time, so the hamster may not have drowned. Assuming the hamster survived the initial flush, it probably led a short, horrific life in the pipes trying to find a way out.
-
Probably the hamster ran through the Baltimore pipes and beat her home anyway.

Is it literally me, or does this remind people of Lemmiwinks in South Park.

C'mon. Thinking things through well-beforehand could have avoided this situation altogether.
Just a playing out of that idiotic young woman having no thoughts of what to do with the thing, nor making any connections to continue caring for that hamster at her college town, then the owner wanting to sneak it onto a plane to avoid paying.
Sadly, this reminds me of the time I gave a ride to a ditz from our college-- she surprised me with her previously unmentioned pet, so I had to make room for her hermit crab & all its bleeping supplies. At least she gave me extra $ for the inconvenience.
