Girl videos herself microwaving guinea pig

Help!!!!

As the title states a girl in Brazil egged on by her friends videoed herself microwaving her guinea pig. The guinea pig was taken to the vets & its ok.
But what I want to know is....is it wrong to think I would like to be the one to punish her & show her the error of her ways??

Ehh..I think we should let it go. A slap on the wrist IMO. So long as it's not a recurring theme, she should be just given a warning. Father either overreacted by punishing her or just said that to appear not to condone it in the public's eyes. I believe it's the latter.

A 16 yr old thought it would be a good idea to microwave a little animal? That would be very concerning to me and would warrant more than a slap on the wrist.

Sixteen year olds aren't known for their good judgement, and, as much as I like animals, it's not like she put a baby (admittedly a very small baby in there).

The outrage junkies will be hellbent on ruining her life and making her out to be worse than a fox-hunting, fisherman with a racoon hat, but she's just a silly girl who did a silly thing.

Anyway, I bet the guinea pig thought it was well cosy in there and was mildly disappointed when it was taken out.

I tried that before...the guinea pigs survived by eating all the spilled porridge, curry sauce, beans, soup that was burned onto the walls of the microwave!

This seems more than just 'bad judgment'. At 16, my bad judgment involved a step hair cut and yellow doc martins.

There aren't words to describe some people, the utmost of stupidity and insanity. Why would you put a living creature into a bloody microwave!?

uck51js9zml2yt

Good job this wasn't posted in the animals/ pets forum.:)

More than a slap on the wrist is required.

A six year old warrants a small punishment, a sixteen year old should at least get a police caution.

She shouldn't be allowed pets for life.

jeanjolie

Should have added 'no animals were harmed in the making of the film....oops' at the end for the craic. :pac:

A good spanking is what she needs. Spanking.

(No I do not condone anminal cruelty and may the lord help us if this gets into the pets forum.)

anewme

for a start stop making excuses for animal abuse. She's old enough to learn that there will be consequences for this.

There's something fundamentally wrong with people who are intentionally cruel to animals and sixteen is well age enough to know better.

She's not just a silly girl, she's an idiot with a cruel streak in her and should be cautioned by the police and banned from keeping pets.

andekwarhola

The microwave doesn't sound much good, thankfully.

paleoperson

.... it's wrong if you have a boner thinking about it.

Samaris

Sixteen is entirely old enough to know better. I wouldn't expect anyone over the age of maybe eight or nine to think it was a good idea, and these days most children that age know better too.

My 4 year old wouldn't even consider it

Overreaction much? You have to remember that the guinea pig is an animal not in any way as sentient as a human being (and I know that humans are animals too)...

Outlaw Pete

What a horrible thing to do how could anyone (hang on, just have a piece of meat between my teeth... ah there, got it) put an innocent animal in a microwave like that.

dadad231

It's a bit mad alright, so long as it's not a recurring theme as mentioned already.

Wow, people like you still exist? These animals feel pain the exact same way you or I do. I might understand saying that about an insect, but it's amazing you would claim a mammal like a guinea pig isn't sentient, would you claim the same for dogs?

wakka12

How is this much different to allowing your dogs chase down a fox and tear it apart? Its lauded by many communities. Im very much against this and what the girl did but why does she deserve to have her life ruined when millions of people all over the world subject animals to similar or worse crueltly daily

ScumLord

Yet people have no problem killing rats and mice, or destroying spider cities and all their art works.

She needs psychiatric help and ought to be locked away until she is no longer a threat to others.

At this point I wonder how many animals you've microwaved.

ScumLord

I don't know that this is anything more than someone pandering to the mob in her case. When I was that age you'd be dared into doing all kinds of things you wouldn't normally do. People can do horrible things at that age and it doesn't necessarily make them a bad person, thats the age for trying things and making mistakes.

This is a nonstory.

Brazil hasn't been invaded since the Iberians have been there.
Guinea-Bissau are drawing up plans, together with their ex husband Guinea there are plans afoot.

When I was 16, if someone seriously wanted to put any of my pets in the microwave, they would have been shown the door. It's not a mistake, it was an act of cruelty.

Lau2976

I'm kind of amazed at the attitude to teenagers doing ****ed up things. Like "oh it's the time to make mistakes"

A mistake is having a bit too much to drink and getting sick in a plant pot. It's not trying to burn a living creature to death or bullying someone to suicide.

Being purposefully cruel isn't a "mistake" it's a trait, one that if they're allowed away with at that age, they'll always have.

It's pleasantly surprising how far this thread has developef without someone pointing out that torturing or killing animals is a classic predictor in childtren going on to be serial killers/ psychopats

biscuithead

I wonder if this girl wasn't as beautiful as she is would the responses be a lot more vitriolic.

I find it hard that the vets say the animal is fine. Surely it now has some form of brain damage. After all, a serious dose of radiation was passed through the creature's organs.

No. I, for example, would kick her in the face without scruples.

I do not think it is as simple as that.
What happens if this hamster bites someone? And in one years time some guy down on his luck tries to hold up a local store for $100. At this stage hamsterman has fully develeoped his powers and comes burrowing up through the floor of the store to save the cashier, causing an untold amount of damage and destruction throughout the city.
The store mugger then falls into the hole and into a pool of chemical waste that has seeped through the cracks of the cities chemical plant into hamstermans tunnel. This in turn will lead the mugger to gain enhanced powers and a grudge towards society.
I believe she may have started a whole chain of events that the world is not yet ready for. Her father punishing her will have made no difference to the future, and he knows it.

Wonder if you're genuinely serious or just kidding.

I'm don't see why. It's a valid point that is important to know, I bet at least one person here didn't know it.

Why does it matter? A sick, cruel bastard who puts an animal into a microwave deserves his/her teeth kicked out (at least), period.

Yeah so if we eat meat we should be totally okay with people exploiting, torturing and killing animals for Facebook likes:rolleyes:

Regardless of gender they dont put animals in microwaves. This isn't a gender thing darling.

Traditionally guinea pigs are roasted or BBqed over an open flame. They're supposed to be lovely, they're basically just food where they're originally from.

The animals are already dead when they roast them. Nobody sane puts an animal to a microwave to torture it and gain FB likes from same-level morons. Get a grip, moddy.

I don't think sanity has anything to do with it. I've seen and heard of plenty of saine people that did horrible things to animals when they were young. Teenagers can get into some nasty situations just following the crowd. This could be one of those things she looks back on with shame for the rest of her life, we don't know.

It's also not that unusual when you think about it. Most animals don't bat an eyelid at hurting other animals of a different species. Us thinking it's fundamentally wrong is a pretty new thing, for the longest time we only saw them as food and resources, the default state of humans would be to not care for animal welfare. What we have now is a learned behaviour that we've developed and enshrined pretty recently. That some people can ignore that learned behaviour, especially young people that haven't been totally socialised, and use another animal to gain attention isn't really all that unusual.

Civilised behaviour isn't in us, it's learned, it can take a long time, sometimes people don't get it straight away, it's not the end of the world.

Am I the only one finding it a bit weird that you're fantasizing about riding a 16 year old girl on a thread about animal cruelty?

So you're able to come to such a medical conclusion based on the third hand account of someone who's job it is to sensationalise stories for profit.

I largely agree but as it is a learned behaviour as you assert then it must be taught. In this instance an effective and in my view required method of educating this girl and others would be to hand down a measured but not insignificant punishment.
