Posted Hamster


Anybody see this is on the news this morning?

2 college students posted a live hamster as a prank They have been fined and banned from owning pets for 10 years, I think it was.

How sad are some people?

And the really sad thing is that they are supposed to be clever!
At least the creature survived - ate its way out of the package and suprised the postman!

Re: Posted Hamster


that is so sick - I don't even see what could be so funny about doing that - I don't think the punishment is good enough either - what do they post a picture to all pet shops saying don't sell these people any animals!


At least the hamster is alright

Re: Posted Hamster


As for being clever, well there's a short step between being clever and being stupid! I think someone should parcell them up and put them in the post.

Re: Posted Hamster


The hamster is now in a nice new home and doesn't appear to be any worse for ware. They were filming the lads coming out of the court and they looked so smug
