How Do You Humanely Destroy Pet Hamster?

We have the same problem. I called the vet and they wanted $70 to euthanize our hamster. I called my local animal shelter and they do it for free. I asked if we could get her back since my son wants to bury her. I was also told that if we ask them and take a box for them to put her in, they would give her back. After reading some of the horror stories about people doing it at home and it not working the first time, etc., I didn't want to do it at home. This way I'm not having to do it.

You don't stupid. that's called murdering!!! there is no humane way to MURDER a hamster. take it to the vet OR LEAVE IT ALONE. the SYCO who said to do the starter fluid the is STUPID and should be reported because he has obviously done it before.

You are a terrible person!!!!! Just take them to a vet!!!Have them do it! I cant even kill a toad, let alone MY hamster Scrat(little guy from ice age, u know, squirrel guy!) If you do this though,(which is cruel) at least give them PROPER funerals! And the guy who gave the bag suggestion, you are not supposed to kill a pet, you can get fined or even arrested !.(which i hope you do!) by the ASPCA for doing this even if its a hamster!.

You asked how to relieve yourself of the burden of a hamster?? And you think making it suffocate slowly in a bag with filled with lighter fluid is REALLY???? Humane??? You know it is not so please DO NOT listen to that insane, sick response.

If the hamster is too much of a burden for you to let him GO NATURALLY into his GOODNIGHT, then please do what the SANE PERSON recommended and bring him to your local HUMANE society and that way you KNOW he will have a HUMANE death and not a grotesque murder. Thanks for posting your sad question.
