A college student flushed her emotional support hamster down a toilet after airline employees refused to let her board the plane with it - and is now contemplating a lawsuit against the airline. Before Belen Aldecosea, 21, was set to fly home from college to Miami on November 21, she called Spirit Airlines twice to confirm she could bring her pet dwarf hamster, Pebbles, on the flight. According to Aldecosea, the airline told her it would be no problem. But once she arrived the day of her flight, Aldecosea claims the airline told her a different story.
