200 dogs rescued from hoarder

The provincial system does have its drawbacks. The rules vary from province to province and of course it is hard to enforce bans from one province to the other.

I wonder if she would believe the animals were like that in her care. She saw them every day and did not react to their condition.

I think we need some serious study of the whole hoarder issue and some treatment needs to be found. If we knew the early signs maybe we could intervene sooner.
I think animal hoarding and property hoarding are the same illness, but I could be wrong. It seems to me that it is the same inability to let things go. I think it can be triggered by loss. I am sure there are similarities in all the hoarder cases we hear about. There do seem to be more of them these days. I wonder why?
