that's gonna take a lot of hamsters
Cruella de Ville is a piker compared to this.
When I was little I checked out a "hamster care" book from the library on repeat, and the first 2/3rds of it was normal pet stuff, but the last chunk was how to raise hamsters for the fur market (it was probably from the 70/80s)

Hi Grace, had a savannah years ago. she was indeed very mean! so yes. But I can't really have a big lizard now cause of the big furry beast that roams the house!
While people insist that bigger is better, a nice 12” monitor is best for first timers. Maybe the ackie variety and avoid the savannahs.

Spinal Tap 2: The End Continues. just saying...
Haven’t seen a zillion people make this point yet but Reiner was just scandalously snubbed by the Oscars. Almost every one of the classics he made was more enduring than whatever beat it.
