Angry boyfriend hurled hamster out of window during row with girlfriend
12:47PM BST 15 Aug 2011
Ryan Goodwin, 23, hurled the pet, Kaya, in its cage from the first-floor window of his council flat during a furious argument with Sarah Symons during their break-up.

Miss Symons was talking to police on her mobile phone when the incident occurred, and her horror was captured by the police 999 recording.

Goodwin, who has a £70 per week cannabis habit and receives £800 a month in benefits, was sentenced at Plymouth Magistrates' Court after admitting animal cruelty and being found guilty at an earlier trial of using threatening behaviour during the row in January.
District Judge Paul Farmer also banned him from keeping animals for seven years, telling him: ''If you had been sent to prison today you could have no complaint. What you did was disgraceful.''

2. they have to get rid of their pit bull now

He said the couple had not argued since moving back in together and beig banned from keeping animals would mean he and his girlfriend would have to get rid of their dog, a Staffordshire/pitbull-crossbreed called Tyson.

"Tyson loves me, he will listen to me and no one else," he said outside court.

"Now we are being forced to get rid of him."

3. the poor baby has a sore knee, so he needs welfare.
I suppose the pit bull and massive amounts of pot are to comfort him in his pain.:eyes:
