May 15th , Salt Edge broke up for half term leaving Hammy alone to fend for himself. The child who was meant to take me home and care for him got caught up in the rush to get out of school. He had low food and water supply . Allegedly his cage was shut and tightly locked, however if this was the case how did this little furry animal manage to escape. Did he flee from lack of resources or did he just run whilst he had the chance?
We interviewed class 4 teacher Patsy Jones and claimed that she “securely” shut the cage door the previous Friday. We then spoke Mr Smith the caretaker spotted the open cage 3 days after the children broke up. He said “First I knew was when, I spotted the cage door was ajar.” Each blaming the other we interview one some of the children. The majority said “I really miss Hammy and I hope we find him soon,” where as few thought “he was a horrible rat.”
We also interviewed some professionals to find out their point of views on this story. Vet Pritesh Khan explained that “hamsters are nervous creatures and cant blame him for taking the chance to escape. Schools should not be allowed to keep animals.” Where as child physiologist Sam Pepper believes that “keeping a pet enables children to learn responsibility and how to care for living creatures other than there selves.”
So we have many different options on this story, but one thing we all agree on is that we need to find hammy before he get hurt in any way.
