Psychopath
I learned in one of my psychology class that children who torture animals like that grow up to be psychopaths. (aka: Murders!)
Unfortunetly, the punishment the person who killed that hamster will recieve (if caught) probably won't be too harsh. He/she will probably only get charged with breaking and entering...and at best a big fine or a few months in prison.
A couple of years ago at the college I graduated from, a boy took one of our swans and chopped its head off! (The other swan died shortly after, probably of a broken heart) Because the swans were the college's property (and only because they were property) he got a huge fine and a year in prison.
