Animal Hoarding

[*LabLoverKEB*]

I think it's so sad to see people do this to animals when they think they are 'helping' them.
They live in absolutely disgusting homes because of all the animals, and because there are so many of them, they are not properly taken care of. And how can that many animals all be given equal attention? It's just not possible!

I think I know an animal hoarder. She has 2 dogs, I think 2 cats, several birds, 2 large rabbits in cages that are waaayy to small, fish, hamsters, rats, etc. The house smells like animals, which I think is kinda gross. Her father used to own a small pet store down the street. That place was absolutely disgusting! It smelled horrible, was extremely dirty and dusty, had expired products on the shelves, and the part I hated, they sold puppies.

I agree with what a lot of others above have said. These people have obvious mental health issues, and don't realize what they are doing and why it is cruel, wrong, and un-ethical.

Heartbreaking, is to put it mildly. I just cannot watch any of the t.v. shows on animal hoarding as it upsets me too much. The article that lizbud posted was painful to read, and wolfsoul's account of her grandmother was truly upsetting.
I just don't understand how once reasonable and intelligent people, can fall into such a state. All those poor animals. Sad - sad - sad..........

I agree, I even skip past the commercials for it, so heartbreaking. Thankfully I do not personally know any hoarders, but it is simply tragic for human and animals when it happens.

You took the words out of my mouth, Karen.
