JUSTIN Bieber has incurred the wrath of animal rights campaigners by giving away his pet hamster to a fan.
The Canadian teen titan thrilled a young girl at the Jingle Ball in Atlanta, Georgia last week by handing her a cage containing his beloved pet, named Pac.
Justin told the fan to "take care" of the hamster, which he adopted in October, and she promised Pac would be going to a good home.
However, officials at the California Hamster Association insist Justin was cruel to give away his pet.
A spokesperson for the group tells TMZ.com: "(Hamsters) often succumb quickly to illness and death (when faced with) sudden environmental change...
"The moment that hamster was handed off to a screaming girl in a harsh, frenzied environment was likely the moment it gazed at the short path to its doom."
It's not been a good week for Justin. He's also come under fire from politicians in the Philippines after he mocked Filipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao online after his recent defeat.
