WalkerBoh Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 2 teen girls held in hamster abuse By GLENDA ANDERSON THE PRESS DEMOCRAT Thursday, April 3, 2008 Two Lower Lake High School girls were in Juvenile Hall on Wednesday facing animal cruelty charges for allegedly microwaving a hamster. The hamster, Bugsy, survived, but later chewed off three feet that were badly burned and had turned black, said Lake County Animal Control Officer Morgan Hermann. Now (Bugsy) has one leg, she said. The girls, ages 14 and 15, allegedly put the hamster in the microwave twice because they were bored. The second time, they saw that Bugsys feet were cooking, Hermann said. The girls said they wanted to see the hamster go around and around on the plate in the microwave, said Clearlake Police Officer Carl Miller. They also briefly placed the hamster in a freezer, he said. The hamster was a birthday gift from the 14-year-old to the 15-year-old, Miller said. The girls names were not released because they are juveniles. The incident occurred in December at the 15-year-olds home, but it was not reported to Animal Control and police until late March, after the students had been released for spring break. The girls were arrested and booked into Juvenile Hall after they returned to school Monday. The District Attorneys Office on Wednesday charged them with felony animal cruelty, Miller said. Bugsys ordeal came to light because the girls had told other students what theyd done, Miller said. The girls have admitted to microwaving Bugsy, Miller said. But he said the girls told him they didnt think Bugsy would die because theyd only left the pet in the microwave for about 5 seconds. I dont think they think they did anything wrong, which is scary for teenage girls, said Clearlake Police spokesman Lt. Mike Hermann. Their stay in Juvenile Hall may change that, he said. A Juvenile Court judge will determine today whether to release the girls or keep them for another 72 hours, Miller said. The judge also will decide their punishment, which could range from probation to a maximum of one year in the California Youth Authority, which he said was unlikely. Miller said the girls parents were unaware of what had happened to the hamster. When he told the 15-year-olds mother, she was first in disbelief, then shock, he said. Despite the trauma and missing feet, Bugsy apparently is chubby, doing well and has been released to a teacher who had been caring for the animal for several weeks. He can jump out of a shoe box. He runs on his nubs, Miller said. Last year, two teenage girls were arrested in connection with setting a kitten on fire in Santa Rosas Apple Valley neighborhood and faced animal cruelty charges. The tale of the treatment and recovery of the kitten dubbed Adam the Cat drew widespread attention. link This happened over where I grew up, in Lake County California. Place has got lots of whackos.

They also briefly placed the hamster in a freezer, he said. That's my favorite part. They were'nt even interested in the effects of microwaving a f*cking hampster, they just wanted to see it spin in circles on a plate. I wonder what they would say their motivation for the freezer was.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodoo Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 So it's not OK to zap a hamster, but it's fine to break a mouse's or rat's neck in a trap? Cute and fuzzy things have all the rights in this twisted world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VideoPoker Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Have to admit that I laughed when I read "He can jump out of a shoe box. He runs on his nubs, Miller said.". Still, sucks and shouldn't have happened. Moonshield's less handsome join date brother <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarus Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Sounds like what happened out here a few months ago. These two teenage boys took the neighbors cat and put it in the microwave and fried it. Seriously, though, whoever has to put an animal in the microwave and do such a thing needs some serious help. Stuff like this is what gets you more Ted Bundy's and Jeff Dahmer's running around the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be surprised at how wild a pet hamster will get when freed from it's cage, then. They're actually quite vicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk to me the difference lies in the fact that if you've bought a hampster and brought it into your home your inherently taking responsibility for it's actions, and are therefor indirectly responsible for any damage it might cause. Whereas rats or mice crawl into your house uninvited. There is a difference between pets and pests.....it's one s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doink Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 @Danny: I hate animal cruelty as well. In most cases, the animals can not/will not fend for themselves. But to place animal cruelty above racism, poverty, and hunger? Come on, you big silly. On topic, I'm glad it had a (semi) happy ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svip Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Sure it is not right to put a hamster in a microwave. But what is worse, is you people getting so f*cking upset about it. It is not the end of the world, it is just two teenage girls doing something stupid. "OMG SOME GIRLS FRIED A HAMSTER IN MY HOME TOWN THIS STORY IS SO ME!" Seriously, what? Why does this topic even exist. Perfect example on how humanity is at its demise. Perfect example of how you're a f*cking idiot. Humanity will never lose its fools. These people are teenagers, not mature adults like the rest of us, who know not to put a hamster in a microwave, because of the mess it makes.

Statutory Ray Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Videogames are obviously at fault for this. It's very likely were the house to be searched that you'd find a Commodore 64 with a copy of Maniac Mansion sitting inside the disk drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliGangstar Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I am laughing at the thought of a hamster running in it's wheel on it's nubs. But besides that, have any pics been released of these 2 young sociopaths? Girls like that usually end up being pretty slutty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloSoldier Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 They were bored? BORED? BEING BORED DOESN'T MEAN TIME TO MICROWAVE THE HAMSTER! TRY READING A BOOK YOU f*ckING RETARDED GIRLS! [/rant] But on the real, I really despise anybody who would even raise a hand to an animal, especially ones that are basically on earth to please us.

tuff_luv_capo Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I once wrapped a soaking wet cat in aluminum foil, shoved a block of butter in it's mouth, and set it in the microwave. After shaking and spasming violently, the butter melted into it's throat and the heat imploded its esophagus internally. In the end, it's eyes were glazed from the sizzle of it's own stomach contents. But I never did anything like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
