She wasn't holding the hamster that badly. I've seen worse.

It's not a pig. It's a hampster. She is handling it like a toy.

Re: Awful!

It was bad but that's how some people are. Yelling at each other won't magically make that person learn a lesson. As long as that hamster is okay and it doesn't have a trauma it will live. As for that person we can't do anything.

Re: Awful!

And I think that person will get their punishment upon learning that a group of small animal lovers are having a degrading conversation about them.

Are you saying that as long as pets arn't traumatized by people's actions to them, they will live? You seem to be justifying that it was okay to do what she did to the hampster. I wouldn't want to be your pig.

Re: Awful!

Guineapigz...are you kidding? First of all, who was yelling? I honestly think you are trying to stir the pot here. You know your response is going to draw negative feedback. THat poor animal.

I agree that the hamster wasn't treated well. But there's nothing we can do. People will continue to handle their pets like that no matter what. I think mass kiling guinea pigs to devour them is a lot worse than improperly handling a hamster. I am not trying to get negative feedback but may I ask what is the point of this thread except for getting people pissed off at some Hamster torturing teenager in Idaho or wherever?
P.S. Yelling was used as an expression I meant fighting.

Because I was checking the kitchen. And here's a question. Why instead of flaming each other don't we contact albinoblacksheep and tell them to stop abusing hamsters. We won't achive anything standing here.

Re: Awful!

I hope the hamster bit her. She needs to learn how to handle fragile animals better!

Re: Awful!

I'm looking for their email, maybe if people will email them they will take it off. That would probably satisfy everyone.

Re: Awful!

I caught my son doing something similar to one of our pigs - though admittedly he was much gentler than this little movie. I think he has seen too many Bing videos, because he was singing Guinea Pig Way and trying to get the pig to "dance".

The pig accidentally bit him later, such is karma.

Fawn

Re: Awful!

Oh jeez...it was only a matter of time before Sparky got into the act. I did contact them.

Oh and...you say that when you said 'Stop Yelling" you really meant, "stop fighting". So, to this I say, who was fighting? It was a discussion before you made it something different.

Re: Awful!

I've just taken a look and now wished that I hadn't....I couldn't watch it all...sorry but if that isn't verging on animal abuse, I don't know what is. Poor, poor hamster...quite simply disgusting.
