Two California girls aged 14 and 15 are in Juvenile Hall facing animal cruelty charges over allegedly microwaving a hamster.

They also briefly put him a freezer.

An investigating police officer said the girls have admitting microwaving Bugsy because they were bored.

"These girls showed no remorse."

The Press Democrat reports that the hamster, Bugsy, survived, but three of his feet were severely burned. Lake County Animal Control Officer Morgan Hermann said the legs later turned black and the hamster chewed them off, adding,

“Now (Bugsy) has one leg."

The incident occurred in December, but it was not reported to Animal Control and police until the students had been released for Spring break.

Unlike the pic (right) this was not a happy hamster.
