yahoo- NEW YORK – A New York City teenager has been arrested on a felony charge in the death of a younger sibling's hamster.
Joseph Pentangelo (pehn-TAN'-jeh-loh) of the ASPCA says the creature, which belonged to a 9-year-old, died during a domestic dispute in June.
The 19-year-old is accused of choking and squeezing the 4-ounce hamster and throwing it on the floor. It was then thrown across the street, though a necropsy concluded the animal was probably already dead by the time that happened.
Pentangelo says the charges include aggravated cruelty to animals and child endangerment. He says three children witnessed the hamster's demise.
The Brooklyn teen was arrested Tuesday night. If convicted, she could face up to two years in prison.
Two years in prison for killing a hamster? Bullshit! Since when did hamsters get rights? Its not like this kid killed an endangered Bengal tiger or something. He killed a fat rat. How else are you supposed to get back at your asshole little brother these days? You can't lock him in a closet or beat the shit out of him anymore, they'll lock you up for that. Your only choices are breaking his toys or killing his pets. And this kid must've had shitty toys if he's keeping a filthy rodent as a pet. This is another example of the law going too far. What's next mandatory jail time for stepping on cockroaches?
