This is indeed a very sad - and unfortunately very common - occurance.
Animal hoarding is a true psychological ailment. The victims are almost always middle-aged women. These women do truly believe, in their heart of hearts, that they are helping. And, at first, they probably are. But they lose the ability to see things realistically in time.
Very sad ... not only for the animals, but for the hoarders themselves, who truly and honestly think they are just trying to help animals, and don't understand why someone would take away their babies.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
