Last night I killed my hamster

[verticalkiller]

First, I just gotta say she was 3 1/2 years old and she had some sort of cancer or tumor inside her. She had stopped eatting and her haunches (sp?) were fucking HUGE. So it happened like this.

She was brought downstairs because it was too fucking hot upstairs. So her cage sat on the floor by the wall, im sitting on the couch and I notice out the corner of my eagle eye that she's moving kinda funny in her cage. I get up and she's on her back and her bottom is too big and she can't move, so thats when the decision was passed that she was suffering too much to live anymore. So, since the car was in the shop the option to hook her up to the car exhaust was out of the question. So the idea, of drowning (because thats just cruel isn't it?) was passed and crushing her with a gigantic rock for obvious reason. For one that's disgusting and two, i'm sure it wouldnt be instant death. So it came down to the easiest (for her and us) was death by suffocation. So we got a ziplock freezer bag and put her in, then put her in a tupperware container,.........she bit a hole in it. So we thought of something else. The garage was searched and a twist top plastic jug was found. She was put into the jar and I couldn't bare to see her like that, it was afwul,.......so she was put into the dark formal sitting room to die in peace. This happened at about ....oh say 10p, 1a rolls around and I check on her, she's dazed and confused and barely with the living. I know this sounds stupid but I swear she opened her eyes, looked dead in mine and sat up and started pawing at the sides of the jar. I almost cried, her little red beady eyes hazzy and sad looking. It was so depressing.

So I went to sleep on the couch and when I woke up she was gone, apparently my mom had thrown her away while I slept. That was good though, I didn't want to see her like that.

"Proper" euthanasia would have been the best solution but, pfft, i'm not going to spend money I don't have. Do you know how expensive it is shipping your crap to the UK, well it aint fucking cheap. Well she's dead now and I just wanted to share it with everyone.

This is her before she died, you'll see why she had to be put down...

Any comments?

PS Ozzy I think you're right, she should have had an insurance policy drawn on her. Maybe then she would have been taken to the vet instead of being put into a jar. Poor little gal.

amazing all that shit came out of such a little popper.

[AllisterFiend]

:shock:

Calm down hahahahaha, she didn't want it to suffer anymore... I think...

[verticalkiller]

I hope you get fucking burried alive , fuck i cant stand people like you , why didn't you take it to the vet and let them put it down , fuck you im gonna put you in you fucking arsewipe :evil: :evil: :evil:

Fuck you kind of people make me fucking mad

I guess my pleasure comes from the fact that you can't do shit about it, so sit there and make your blood pressure rise. I hope you die in a jar with the lid tightly secured in a dark formal sitting area :twisted: .

FUCK YOU!

[That Dude]

Suffocation seems like it was the best choice out of everything you had on hand.

Though, technically, shooting it or decapitating it would have been much faster and far less painful for the critter, if a helluva lot grosser. She's not in any pain anymore though, so that's the good part.

[TomasUli]

I sure hope this thread is a fucking joke... because if you really suffocated an animal to death... you're a fucking idiot, and deserve a bunch of bleeding ulcers in the ass.

No joke, you don't like the thread don't read it, simple concept that I guess you guys just don't seem to grasp. I really did have to kill her, if you saw her like I did, you'd have done the same thing. maybe you're would have involved a vet, maybe not. Either way, you'll get over it. And since your panties are in such a bunch you can suffocate in a jar too, im sure this is upsetting but it's worse watching her like that. A few minutes of not breathing or letting her sit in her cage rotting away like a terminal cancer patient in pain. Kavorkian was a hero in my eyes, and that's no lie.

[tgd_02]

fucking douchebag

[verticalkiller]

So what would you have done smartasses?

[tgd_02]

So what would you have done smartasses?
have it put down...cant be that expensive....

[verticalkiller]

So what would you have done smartasses?

Well after looking at your pic in the filecabi member pics you should of been able to afford to get it put down by a vet if you can afford to eat that much

Now, if you're going to throw insults take it to the fight room, make a thread, make my ego grow. If we're going to talk about this like civil human beings then lets talk. Either way, stop embarrassing yourself like a jackass by not giving any proof of how i'm a bitch or an asshole or whatever. So far, all i've heard from you is bitch bitch bitch, grow up and act like an adult. If you're not an adult, which i'm sure you are, go to sleep, it's way past your bed time. Besides, like I said a million times, i'm moving from one country to another, my money is at the post office and the visa office; I don't have 40 bucks to give to some jerkoff vet, that money can go to shipping.

Let's see....... about a minute of not breathing in a jar, or about 20 seconds of pain from the posion going through her body at the vet. A meer 40 seconds extra; thats a dollar a second that i'm saving. DO that math, be conservative.

[Clouds in the Sky]

Awweeeee :cry:

I remember when we needed to put my dog to sleep, not a pleasant experience that's for sure. The poor girl had bone cancer, her bones were literally deteriorating... She also had gone blind. I miss her, it's hard to let go.

[Spleen]

Fair enough it had to be killed but suffocating it seems particularly stupid...

It takes a long time to suffogate, and the mental trauma it most be going through whilst thats happening must be immense. Very cruel thing you did.

Breaking a rabbits neck is very easy, im sure a hamster would be even easier.

Packing the jar with ice and putting it inside the freezer would have been effient imo, its body would have shut down quickly.

Even smacking it over the head with a shovel would have been better.

Hamster-sicle

[Rocker Kid]

Well since you didn't have the money to treat the poor thing or get it put down you had to do it yourslef. Suffocation wouldn't have been my first choice... Maybe killing it in it's sleep would've been better.

I had a cat Missy when I was little she had some sort of sickness and my mom had her put down while I was at school I was so sad it was very tramatic I could like still hear her meow and stuff for a while... She was more than just a pet to me she was my friend and I loved her very much.

[verticalkiller]

Well I chose what I thought would be least mess and painful. It takes awhile to go down as you're freezing to death. It hurts like hell first, so not only would she be suffocating but she'd be suffocating in extreme pain. I think my way was pretty good. I loved her to death, i didn't want to kill her but it had to be done, even if it was running her over. There's no easy way, can we atleast admit that?

[Big Ozzie]

SHIT......Running late, but I'll BE BACK!!!!!!!
Can't wait to post on this thread.............I can see the stretched out rectums quivering already! WHOOOOFAAA!!!!

[AllisterFiend]

I can see the stretched out rectums quivering already! WHOOOOFAAA!!!!

I want everyone to picture that... :lol: :lol: :lol: siiiiiiiick

[Snuff.]

^^ No shit! Ozzie, what was that in aid of!? :lol:

T.Rex had the right idea: freezer.

Other than that I'd suggest a trip down to your local clinic to get some needles and syringes and the supermarket for a bottle of grain alcohol...though I can't imagine how the fuck you'd get a tourniquette on a hamster...or find a veign for that matter...but suffocation = not good. :( Try these boards BEFORE you kill anything next time, just a suggestion.

VK.....Is that a Hamster Turd in the upper left of the photo? OH MY GOD! That would be like me pinching a loaf the size of a VW BEETLE!
Holy Shit! (no pun intended) Are you sure that the little rodent wasn't just constipated and impacted? Did you try giving it an Enema First? A High Colonic will often work MIRACLES!

God no, that was her food bowl, it's made to look like wood. That's a "branch" bit you're seeing, not a turd.

Snuff, if I had a car to go to a store I'd have just used the exhaust to put her to sleep. Like man whose lost all his money and whose wife just left him. But it was in the shop.

[KitRae]

Suffocation is one of the worst ways to go imo :?
You should've just crushed its body with a shovel or your foot or something.
That way the hamster wouldn't have suffered as much as it probably did in the jar.
And I thought I was cruel :? :?

Yeah hey what if you were an old lady middle aged or something you had the same problem hey , you wouldn't like it if your family said we will burry her as she is , no fucking way would you like that , you'ld be putting scratch marks on the in side of the coffin trying to get out , next time you get a pet atleast save money for the vets , and damn i hope you dont own a dog or cat and i was so greatfull that you never posted a video of it as you know there are some sick mother fuckers out there .

Well since this is such a topic of interest for you, I have a sneaking suspicion that you're about 33 (middle aged) and have had some pooping problems or a few rhoids. Ok, I doubt she was constipated, that was a joke; apparently jokes have to be spelled out here since some of us are a bit slow. Anywho, the key difference between Emily (that was her name) and I if we had the same problem is.......i'm not a fucking hamster. You can't apply the same rules to humans and hamsters. If the same rules were applied my family would go to jail for murder for burrying me alive and at the moment the only person going anywhere is Emily; out to the garbage dump. There's ALOT of difference between a hamster and a dog or cat. Different responsibilities and more of a connection. Long story short, cause i'm sure you know all this already, she's dead gone and will soon be replaced with a terrier. There went your hopes down the drain.

I would never ever make a video of Emily dying like that, for one I wouldn't be able to watch that. By the way, im glad you have now found the capability to act like a grown up rather than just spouting off your bullshit. Congratulations.

When I was a little kid, I heard a noise in the bushes. Knowing my dogs and cats were all accounted for and it wasn't "clucking" so it wasn't a chicken. I thought it was a Bear or Mountain Lion or at least a Coyote or something. So I found a rock about the size of my fist and hurled it in the bushes as hard as I could.
When I got enough courage to see what it was, I found that I had killed a mother Robin that was sitting on two babies. The impact of the rock also broke one of the babies neck.
I ran to the house crying and got a towel and a shoe box and went back and scooped up the little birds and took them home.
I brought them to my mom and asked her if we can take care of them. She was used to his as we already had a fair collection of Turtles, Snakes, Birds, Chipmunks, Squirrels, Raccoons and Kit Foxes. My father had two Bobcats raised in a cage since they were about 1 week old. Knowing the one with the broken neck would not live long and the other would surely pass as well, she reluctantly agreed.
Both of these birds had feathers and could eat on their own, but had not grown their "flight" feathers so could not fly yet.
When my pop came home, he looked at the birds and said we should put the one with the broken neck down and as I had done the deed to make him suffer, it was my responsibility to "put it out of its misery".
I WAS HORRIFIED!
But being the man that I was (I was about 7 yrs old) I would force myself to do the job rather than be shamed.
After much consideration and watching the poor Robin's health get worse, we decided to "Gas" it. In those days, gas ovens had to be lit with a match every time they were used. If you turned one on and did not light the flame, the gas fumes would either kill you or blow up your home.
SO, in the oven went the bird in its little box (soon to be a coffin)...we waited 10 minutes or so and looked. Nope! Still alive! Back in the oven.
We opened all the windows and doors and set up all the fans to air the gas out of the house and waited.....30 minutes.....1 hour (still alive)....waiting, waiting for death. All of a sudden my dad comes home and walks in the kitchen...."What The HELL is going on?" he demanded!
We told him what we were doing and he said "Woman, what are you NUTS? Just pull its head off like you do the chickens!" and went to the oven.
Lo and Behold....There was the little Robin, all perky and sitting up and chirping! The gas must have worked miracles and saved its life!
Do you know what? That Robin never did learn to Fly, but his brother did. We named the "Roger and Randy" and we had them several years before the one flew off with a female. I can't remember which one had the broken neck, Roger or Randy...Oh Well!
TRUE STORY!....Since then I have a hard time making the finale decision to euthanise an animal. Even VK's little Hamster fought to stay alive in the final moments of life.

[verticalkiller]

Im not even going to bother to read your post i was nice to you ( FOR A Change in this thread ) you only got my age from my website ok , so fucking lay off RIGHT , get a fucking GRIP .

As if it matters where I got your age from, you're still 33. It's funny though how you can have diahrea of the mouth but can barely take it, like a kitten going through a wood chipper. I'll lay off you though, I wouldn't want you to call a PTA meeting over this.

By chance did you take little "Emily" to the OB-GYN Clinic? Look at her belly! I think she was with CHILD! :shock: :shock: :shock:

[Big Ozzie]

STOP the Flaming......We are in MOURNING
(kindly have respect for the deceased!)

Well i'll be FUCKED i'll hate to be your terrier

Yikes

Who are you arguing with? I thought we were being nice to each other. [hunching shoulders]

[Spleen]

No, ice would numb her down pretty quickly, she would lose conscousisness within minutes, it would have been quick and relativly painless.

Whats even more pathetic is the fact that you seemed scared of creating alittle mess to put her out of her misery. Splatting her with a hammer in the garden would have been abit bloody, but it would over within secconds. You claim you love this hamster, yet you wernt prepared to make alittle mess to end its suffering?

[Big Ozzie]

What about......putting her in a BLENDER! You could have told her it was a new ride at DISNEYLAND! What a way to go!

[Overlord]

okay, a couple comments. First, Vertical I definately would've gotten some second opinions before the suffication trick. But what's done is done and hopefully it was for the best. I would've rather let the Vet make the decision as well as the execution and if you needed 10 bucks to get her checked out for fuck's sake just email me.

I'm sorry to hear about the pet. I had a lot of gerbils as a kid and one time one died and two others ate part of him and it mad me so mad and sick I let them all go in my backyard (to be eaten by the wild things) but hey that's life. If you made the best decision you could've with what you had that's all that really matters.

Overlord is right, VK. I used to raise rats to feed my snakes and the baby rats turned on momma because I didn't provide enough food for them and they went CANIBAL! Really! Rodents do that shit over territory and lack of food! So do birds such as chickens and Pheasants. That is why they cut the upper beak 1/2 off!

OH WAIT!, Shit...Off topic.......About the Hamster, just so you can have it in the back of your head in case you decide to "euthanise" another pet...suffocation is not painless. Fact is, it is rather painful and takes a long time to kill you. As you probably noticed by the hamster in the jar. As sick as she was, she still tried to get out because she knew she was going to die. Your lungs feel like they are going to explode, you keep inhaling but you don't get any Oxygen. You have a burning sensation in your rib cage, death comes so slowly.
In the future, go to a vet, build up a big ol' crocodile tear and ask them, "Please Dr. Vet, can't you just help me by ending my poor pets misery.....I can't afford a hospital bill and I don't want my pet to suffer. It would cost the vet about 50 cents worth of narcotics to put the little girl down, after all they reuse the needle.
I feel for you VK....a lot of these people don't know what it is like to really have a pet or an animal that you love and depends on you.

[Vanguard]

Well, I'm not going to be a hard ass. Thou, I wouldn't have killed the thing myself. I could on to compare this situation to that of a human, but I'm to lazy. Quiet frankly, I would've just gone to get the vet to do it. Suffocation, doesn't actually last 40 seconds... thou it may have, lungs collapse, heart pops, and then the brain goes dead. That's when the critter dies.

Edit - Didn't realize this was already on page 3

[verticalkiller]

Well, perhaps suffocation wasn't the best idea, but uhh I did the best i could with what I had to work with. People make mistakes, if it helps i've been thinking of what would have been a better way since it was done. *SIGH* I remember when she used to roll around the house in her big pink ball, and the yelling of my mother when she complained of all the little turds around the house from said rolling about. Poor little girl. Oh well, ya live and you learn, then you get Luvs.
