That's a bit much for such a small rodent...

To be honest, i think that the health problem with disease and illness carried with the hamsters is a problem, but have to pay that amount of money for a rodent is pathetic!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.23.230.5 (talk) 09:37, 10 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Destroy all hamsters or they will destroy us! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.63.123.139 (talk) 03:25, 14 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

This is what happens when Communism meets the cute. No, they couldn't just limit hamster imports, or increase their prices like they can so easily do in their damned planned economy. They have to order that all sale or posession of hamsters is illegal. Disease spreaders? I don't buy that for two seconds. Almost all of those hamsters are domestic, and making them illegal won't stop the feral population, if there is one. I think this is probably just another instance of Communist tyrants exerting their power and destroying something which gave people pleasure but didn't have a practical purpose.

Imagine being said kid who owns a hamster. You don't want to get in trouble. And you probably don't want to kill a beloved pet. The logical solution is to hide the thing (it's small and concealable) and dump it somewhere. If they were worried about a feral population, even if there wasn't one before, there's certainly going to be one now! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.198.111.163 (talk) 01:05, 9 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

That's True, Kvn8907 and Unsigned (last) and the other one that wants to "destroy hamsters", it maybe has to decide it the people, or image that you were exiled, that's not fair, it's cruelty--201.201.145.138 20:24, 14 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Why do you guys just blame everything on Communist? Don't you think that's just too much for a cliche?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.160.1.74 (talkcontribs)
