Odd donations to charity shops #247: the dead hamster

Howard Lake | 9 August 2007 | Blogs

Third Sector‘s ‘Paper Round’ back page section is developing a nice line in featuring peculiar or shocking donations to charity shops. This week’s story concerned an Oxfam shop volunteer in West Wickham, Kent, who discovered a dead hamster in a cage which had been bagged up and left outside the shop.

Wendy Mortimer was angry that someone could have thrown away a dead pet like rubbish so ensured the animal received a proper burial.

There was no mention how much the cage was sold for.
