Animal Hoarding

I watched a show last night on Animal Hoarding.
I feel bad for people who feel the need to collect. I am pretty sure everything that is truly important to me could be moved in one suitcase, you know?

The animals and the owners both looked really sad.

None of the owners seem to be mentally stable or happy and I am surprised that no family member has called in help before. It isn't healthy to have that much dander and hair everywhere and it is impossible to keep your place clean.









I can get downright grubby when I am out in the woods but at home I have to have things clean or I lose em.

I was thinking if there was no legal penalty maybe more people would report that their friends and families were living in these conditions and everyone would be better off and healthy.

On that note though reality shows are really crazy.

Animal Abandonment

I will never understand how someone can just abandon their animal. I have to admit that I sometimes get a chuckle when I see an article or hear a reporter discussing some strange incident where an exotic fish or reptile is found in an environment that it was impossible for said creature to be native to.

I just don't understand how you can abandon your faithful and loyal companion, like a dog.
When I see videos where rescue operators are called in to help dogs in various stages of homelessness and helplessness I just find myself getting so angry that anyone could do that to an animal.

Some people cry when they see the videos, I know the honorable Mrs. Michael Asimos does (I love you, mama!). I just get angry.

We are on this earth to spread love and kindness to all living things. Who failed to teach people that?
