Muz Posted 24 November 2005 Posted 24 November 2005 Drunk Drop-Kicked Pet HamsterUpdated: 18:35, Thursday November 24, 2005 A former member of the Royal Navy has been jailed for drop kicking a pet hamster, 'potting' it like a snooker ball and dropping it from a bedroom window. John Ackland, 31, kicked his ex-girlfriend's pet Bruno three metres through the air and used a chair leg to play with him like a snooker ball, a court heard. The drunken attack finished with the animal being thrown out of an upstairs window and then posted through a neighbour's letterbox. The creature was so badly injured vets were forced to put the it down. The rampage, at his former girlfriend's home in Wincanton, Somerset, was witnesses by two teenage girls. Ackland, who served with the Royal Navy for seven and a half years, had pleaded guilty to a charge of cruelty to an animal at a previous hearing. The father-of-two was sentenced to 60 days' imprisonment at the hearing at Yeovil Magistrates Court. Passing sentence, chairwoman of the magistrates Wendy Mellish said: "This was a sadistic and sustained attack on a defenceless animal that took place in front of children. "The offence is so serious that only a custodial sentence can be justified. You should'nt laugh...

Guest Posted 25 November 2005 Posted 25 November 2005 Wouldn't you love the 'eye for an eye' system of punishment in cases like this?
Ric Flair Posted 25 November 2005 Posted 25 November 2005 Hamsters are amazing, but stink worse than Bernie. A better act of punishment would be to empty a thousand hamster cages in to a inflatable empty swimming pool and chain the offender in there for the 60 days, maybe mix abit of baby sick in there aswell.
