A woman who was filmed as she cut up and and then ate her pet hamster called Mr Nibbles was today jailed for 12 months.
The first video was 27 seconds long and showed Parker repeatedly prodding a large knife into a hamster ball containing Mr Nibbles and then cutting the still-alive animal in half. “Its still alive and she uses the knife in a chopping and sawing motion over the middle of the hamster’s body.Lincoln Crown Court | Photo: Emily Norton
A vet with 27 years experience who watched the footage described the content as deeply disturbing and said Mr Nibbles would have suffered both physical and psychological damage as hamsters are prey animals which can feel fear. The court heard Parker had been made the subject of community orders in both 2021 and 2022 for offences of shoplifting, and had a long history of addiction to Class A drugs.
Judge House said it was “abhorrent” that violence had been inflicted on a defenceless animal for others’ entertainment.“You are then seen holding a bottle of water and then eating the two halves of the disected hamster.”
