As for Spirit — the airline admits that a "reservation representative, unfortunately, did misinform the guest that a hamster was permitted to fly as an emotional support animal."
I recently was on a flight where a 20-something millenial sitting in my row had the most appropriate emotional support animal possible -- a teddy bear that she held clutched to her chest for the entire 2.5 hour flight. As a result, she kept very calm and the bear was a perfectly polite traveling companion -- giving offense to none.

In have lost count of the number of Bears I have seen on board planes over the years, with both children, and as you experienced even some adults, and as you say they are never any trouble ! I have even seem a number of Teddies floating round with the opposite sex but that is another story !

Here's one who needed a 'sedation' animal. A teddy bear with chloroform ...
Child screams and clambers over seats during eight-hour ?flight from hell? | The Independent
“He was climbing all over the chairs, he was just screaming, would not let up, he was running up and down the aisles, there was nothing [the mother] could do.”

needed to be spoken to by one of our captains who looked like Bluto 
(Years ago, invited to flight deck, I let our 4yo enter first and was promptly almost knocked over by terrified child fleeing from our large, black-bearded captain.)

You do wonder what level emotional support the hamster provided if Belen Aldecosea was mentally able to flush the poor little thing down a toilet. I couldn’t do that to a fish let alone a hamster. Has anybody told her that it probably survived the flush and drowned some time later on or maybe even got squished in a sewerage pump? Just as well she didn’t have a larger animal like a peacock. Imagine the commotion trying to flush one of those buggers down an airport toilet.

Why on Earth was that nasty, unpleasant little kid allowed to fly? Flying is not a right and it is unfair, unjust and selfish in the extreme to allow that kid to inflict misery on those who have the misfortune to share a (long haul) flight with it. I would have offloaded “Little Precious” and mother without any problem whatsoever. If they want to travel, they sedate the kid or make alternative travel arrangements.
