		<description>[...] Pompadour&#8217;s story (and especially his &#8220;wife&#8217;s&#8221; story) shows the sort of banal horribleness of irresponsible animal breeders. We think of bad breeders mostly in the context of dogs, but it happens with smaller animals too. People breed for cuteness and profit, instead of actually making sure that the animals they want to breed are in good health. I&#8217;ve had to help with online hamster forum interventions to prevent people from buying two random animals from a chain petstore and breeding them for the sake of cuteness. [...]</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think this was a sad or tragic story. I think it is a story of triumph and love winning out in the end.
I had a similar experience with a rat named Mad-Eye. He only lived 12 months, but in the 12 months he gave more love than most humans do in a lifetime.

Thank you for giving Pompadore the chance to know love. I&#039;m a firm believer than when an animal is truly loved and loves back with all their heart, their spirit grows too big to just leave this world. He&#039;ll be back in different bodies, giving deserving humans his special blessing and love!</description>

		<description>Pompy was one of my fave hamsters on HH forum. He lived a full life (in terms of both his lifespan and quality of living) despite the health issues, showing how well animals thrive on love and attention. I love reading about how he warmed up to you and became so tame; he was truly a clever and sweet little one. Thanks for sharing your inspiring adoption tale about Pompy with us :)</description>

		<description>Pompadour&#039;s story is one of the most touching adoption stories ever. :-) This was sad at the start, but so sweet to hear how just a little love and kindness made all the difference to a little hamster&#039;s life. He deserved every bit of love you gave him, and has to be one of the bravest souls to endure his past.</description>
