Then they posted it all on Facebook. While it's disturbing to read about these incidents, I feel strongly about
getting these sadistic a-holes names out there. There is so much animal abuse occurring in our country
that we don't even know about. Something has to be done about this..

From Huffington Post:

DAVIS, Calif. — Two University of California, Davis students are facing charges after police say they tortured two hamsters with a cigarette lighter and posted a video of the incident on Facebook.

Campus police say 18-year-old Henry Nguyen and 19-year-old Josue Melendez were taken into custody Wednesday on suspicion of animal cruelty.

The two students allegedly battered and used the lighter to torture the hamsters. One of the hamsters died, but the other recovered after being cared for at the UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital.

Police say the video posting led to the investigation of the two students.
