Woman says airline suggested she flush her emotional support hamster down the toilet. So she did
| But when the 21-year-old arrived at Baltimore-Washington International airport for her Nov. 21 flight, she was told Pebbles was not welcome.
And then, she told the Miami Herald, things took a turn for the worse.
Unable to bring the hamster with her but needing to get home to deal with a medical issue,(a scheduled teeth cleaning), Aldecosea said an airline representative suggested she either set Pebbles free outdoors or flush her down the toilet.
| Feel the tartar on her teeth,Aldecosea said she spent hours scrambling to find another way to get home, including trying to rent a car..
But given it was the holiday season, there were no cars available. And so an increasingly desperate Aldecosea said she flushed Pebbles down an airport toilet.
“She was scared,she looked up at me with those little shiny eyes…and…and I put her in the water…she squealed for me to rescue her..I..I..flushed."
| "I sat there for a good 10 minutes crying in the stall.”

Why would she do that?

| It happened in usa and I believe the story. If about anywhere else it would just be another joke.
| It's The Star. They literally publish fake stories. It's like The Weekly World News but less funny and interesting.

| Pebbles is the latest victim in the ongoing battle between airlines and passengers who want to travel with their “emotional support” animals.
Pebbles’ owner, Belen Aldecosea was scheduled to fly from Baltimore to her home in Florida on Spirit Airlines. When she booked her reservation, Aldecosea said she was assured by a Spirit Airlines representative that she could bring the hamster on board with her.
