"7 baby hamsters due to be killed"

[Jo05]

is there anyone near Chester, Cheshire who could help? ...its an ad on pets4homes.


I have 7 baby syrian hamsters needing forever loving homes! We have both boys and girls. I will have to find homes for them and if not They will have to be killed due to me not having any space. I already have 4 and I love them to bits!!!!

:O Oh my gosh! I would help if I live anywhere near Chester!!!

Those poor hamsters!

[Charley101]

I don't understand. The poster says they have 3 weeks and she will tame them and basically care for them. Why bother if she is intending on 'destroying' them? And she already has 4 that she 'loves to bits' I think it is a shock tactic to get people to quickly take them off her hands...

Some people make me mad!

I agree, Charley.

I once saw a listing on Preloved by someone with a familiar name, who claims to run a small rescue, threatening to euthanise some mice if they weren't rehomed quickly, as she couldn't bear the idea of them going to a shelter

Surely someone who 'loves [hamsters] to bits' wouldn't entertain the idea of killing them.

I think its so people respond quicker, why dont they take them to the pet store.. Ive reported the Ad..

Such horrible people we are living with in this world.. to even think of using this as a shock tactic into getting homes for those babies..

I hope it is just a tactic..

How can someone who loves hamsters to bits think of killing them? It's so hard to know if their telling the truth or just trying to shock people. People can be so hard to get the measure of
