Pet hamster fried alive by flatmate


Updated: A MAN has been arrested after a hamster was fried to death following a row between flatmates.


Police found the dead pet – belonging to the flatmate of the arrested
man – lying in a frying pan in the kitchen of one of the apartments at
Pope’s Head Court, in Peter Lane, off Market Street,
York.


National animal welfare charity Blue Cross described the incident as “horrific and tragic”.


Police sources told The Press that officers were called to the block
of flats last Saturday following reports of a drunken disturbance and
arrested a 20-year-old student for being drunk and
disorderly.


They conducted a spot-check around the flat and made the grim discovery.


They then arrested the 20-year-old man on further suspicion of causing
unnecessary suffering to a protected animal. The Press understands
police believe the creature was alive before it was placed
in the flying pan.


After questioning the man, officers learned that the hamster had
belonged to his male flatmate, a foreign student who is studying in the
city. The owner of the pet is said to have been distraught
when he found out what had happened.


Police said the hamster was now in a deep freezer in the evidence room at the Fulford Road police station as investigations continued into the incident. The
RSPCA said it could not comment on an ongoing case but it would also looking into the investigation.


Denise Young, the Blue Cross regional manager for the north, said:
“This is an horrific and tragic incident for both the poor hamster and
the owner concerned. At the Blue Cross, we sadly see
animals who have been terribly neglected or deliberately mistreated,
in desperate need of our care and loving new homes.


“We hope that this case is taken as seriously as it deserves to be by the relevant authorities.”


A police spokesman said: “A 20-year-old man was arrested at an address
on Pope’s Head Court, Peter Lane, York, on Saturday, February 4, on
suspicion of causing unnecessary suffering to a protected
animal. He has been released on bail while police and RSPCA inquiries
continue.”


The man will answer bail on March 6 and the hamster was served with chips

Tales of the Riverbank with Hammy Hamster.

Yes, Thats it, With Rodney rat,

He use to look scared shitless floating down the river, And Rodney was trying to climb aboard too, They wouldnt get away with it now, animal cruelty, Cant see the problem really, Loads of hamsters about, £2 for half a dozen,

Had a dog when I was a kid, me and mother go to visit relatives for a few days, father left in charge of house and dog, on return we are informed dog has died, all the family in tears, decision is made we are not having another dog as it’s death was so upsetting.

Some time later a friend of my father is emigrating and was having difficulty in getting anyone to take on their pet dog, it was looking as if dog was going to be put down, my father stepped in and agreed to take dog.

Holiday time comes around again and mother and I disappear to relatives, again father looking after dog, yes, dog is dead on our return.

Well a generation later I have kids and my son has a hamster (George), we go on holiday my father being left in charge of said hamster.

Halfway through holiday I phone my father for catch up, George is dead... It is decided not to inform my son while on holiday, on breaking the news on return home, days of tears and depression.

Anyway, hamster is replaced and son again chooses to name replacement George.

Holiday time follows and my father is again left in charge, yes phone call, hamster is dead, again decide to delay informing son, which I was not looking forward to given previous reaction.

On our return home son is informed of death, reaction, “Well George two down the tube” was his reply and quite merrily disappeared out the house to play with his mates!!! We had fretted all holiday about informing him....



But, two dogs, two hamsters ??? Freddie Starr comes to mind !!!!!!!!!!!!
