Animal Hoarding [View all]
Is anyone else seeing an increase of animal hoarding in their area. Our county's humane society which isn't very large, and doesn't have a big budget has had 4 hoarding cases in three months. They have had to take in so many dogs and even some cats who have been neglected and are suffering from fleas, malnourished, and have fur loss.
Turns out the most recent person arrested for it was a lady I went to high-school with. They found 17 dogs, and several cats in her home. They also found 4 dead cats in the house. It was so bad our town had to condemn the house.
What the hell is going on in this world? I have loved cats and dogs all my life, they've comforted me through a lot of crap other humans put me through. It breaks my heart to think of the suffering these animals who were hoarded went through. At least I know one has gone to a good home. A guy who I have always looked at as my younger brother from another mother adopted one of the dogs from one of the earlier cases. He is 3 years old and a mix of Chihuahua and Terrier. He's adorable, and my friend said it was love at first site.
