Thousands in Hong Kong volunteer to adopt hamsters amid Covid-19 fears
Authorities ordered on Tuesday 2,000 hamsters from dozens of pet shops and storage facilities to be culled after tracing a coronavirus outbreak to a worker in the Little Boss pet shop, where 11 hamsters subsequently tested positive for Covid-19.
The administrator of "Hong Kong the Cute Hamster Group" on Telegram said they were contacted by almost 3,000 people willing to take care of unwanted animals temporarily.
She said three young owners were pressured by their families to get rid of their hamsters even though they all owned them for more than half a year.
