[NAGDU] Spirit Airlines: Student flushes emotional support hamster down toilet

[Cindy Ray]

The topic has garnered a lot more conversation than I would have thought,
and much of it has been my own. I suspect that if it doesn't end soon then
we will close it because, of course, it is not about dogs. However, such
articles as this do in the end affect how we are eventually treated, so the
story in itself is actually important I think.
