Horrific footage of a woman cutting her hamster in two with a knife has gone viral.
39-year-old Emma Parker, a drug addict from England, cut her hamster in two with a knife, after which she ate her pet. This scene was filmed by a man who laughed out loud and said: “You are a sick bastard.”
This is reported by the British edition of the Mirror.
The horrific footage leaked online and the incident was reported to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, who alerted the police.
At the hearing, Emma Parker admitted that she was featured in the video. She told law enforcement that she helped a hamster named Nibbles die after he was bitten by one of her dogs.
The woman also admitted to police that the incident took place at her home in May last year, but refused to reveal the identity of the person filming it.
A veterinarian with 27 years of experience, after watching the video, came to the conclusion that the pet received both physical and psychological trauma, since hamsters are animals that can experience fear.
The veterinarian added that in his entire career, he had never heard a hamster scream like Nibbles did when the owner cut him in two.
Sent to court, Emma Parker admitted that she caused unnecessary suffering to an animal protected by law.
For her act, the woman on Wednesday, March 8, was sentenced to 12 months in prison.
Recall that in Ivano-Frankivsk, while monitoring social networks, a district police officer discovered a published video of bullying a raccoon. The animal was placed in a centrifuge dryer and turned on for a few seconds.
