NYC Teen Arrested in Hamster Slaying

A NYC teen has been arrested for killing a hamster.  At first I thought that was kind of silly until I read:

"The 19-year-old is accused of choking and squeezing the 4-ounce hamster and throwing it on the floor. It was then thrown across the street."

 Witness saying "Aw sh#*!!" then proceeded to act out said feelings of the crime on a city street.
