I got my hamster a month from today actually and have been swamped with everything involving hamsters. This video popped up on recommended from Youtube and was curious and was kind of saddened by all the dangers in the video. From dangerous obstacles, dangerous falls from high heights and even just straight up fighting. Just wanted to bring awareness to this Youtube channel :/

I saw this aswell. The hamsters are dropping from heights on to hard surfaces, stressed out and Syrians are being put in groups. It's horrible how many likes and views these channels get. It made me cry to see this.

There are a few of these types of channels on Youtube. Unfortunately the kind of cruelty in them probably doesn't usually meet YouTube's standards for removal i.e they're not being actively harmed or tortured. It is still totally wrong of course but the best thing to do is to just not watch these channels as they get ad revenue from views and that encourages them to make more videos.

I saw them to. I HATED them. But you need to ignore them or report them. Other than that there’s nothing we can do. ☹️
