A college student who claimed a Spirit Airlines employee suggested she flush her emotional support hamster down the toilet — and who ended up doing so — now has a new pet hamster, her lawyer said. SPIRIT AIRLINE EMPLOYEE TOLD STUDENT TO FLUSH EMOTIONAL SUPPORT HAMSTER DOWN THE TOILET, STUDENT ALLEGESThe young woman said a Spirit Airlines employee advised her to either set the rodent free, into the wild, or flush it down the toilet. It was horrifying trying to put her in the toilet,” Aldecosea told the Miami Herald. After the story broke, PETA Senior Vice President Daphna Nachminovitch condemned the young woman's decision to flush the pet down the toilet. Spirit Airlines spokesman Derek Dombrowski told Fox News that an employee misinformed Aldecosea by saying Pebbles was allowed on the flight, but denied that an employee suggested she flush the rodent down the toilet.
