    So sad ...

    This type of situation is very sad. First, for the rescues that work so hard to help animals and are continually faced with having to say NO a great deal due to lack of space, lack of resources, lack of money. For many people, saying no is so difficult that they end up biting off more than they can chew. That is how these hoarding situations happen and every time we hear about these rescuers who have taken on more than they can handle, it makes the rest of us suffer as well.

    Second, how sad for the animals to have to live without proper care. Living with disease, in filthy conditions, underfed, and undersocialized, is not worth it (IMHO).

    This is why I have such great respect for Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. They are the truest of no-kill organizations, but even they are limited in who and how many they can help, but you can guarantee that every animal they take in is given everything medically and socially it needs to be happy.

    That is just horrible. This makes it easier for the public to treat their animals bad. I mean if a licensed "rescue" could do it what is going to stop other people think that it okay to let these animals live in those conditions. I am so upset over this. I work hard everyday to save even one dog/cat and people like this make my work very hard! This is why the animal abuse will never stop. UGH! I am so livid now!

    Yikes, I wonder if the person who fancied herself an animal rescuer is really someone who has a problem with animal hoarding. This is just awful.

    Yes I do remember those puppies. How sad, I hope the animals will be able to find good homes. There was a similar situation with a rescue near me a while ago.
