I'm an animal lover...............
Quote From: tina916My best friend's dad is a hoarder and he collects animals too!! It's so bizarre because I went to her house last summer and I hadn't been there in over 2 years and among all the junk (piles and piles of just absolute crap) her dad was hoarding in their backyard there was also a pack of 8 dogs out there.
I asked about them and my friend just shrugged her shoulders and said all those dogs were her dad's that he got from friends. I was absolutely horrified. Plus inside their house had to be at least 4-5 cats running around. I never see any litter boxes in their house either and those dogs are allowed to go where ever they want outside in that mess out there.
These couldn't have been humane conditions for these animals, but apparently each dog and cat are taken to the vet once a month for check-ups. Her dad is very attentive about getting their check-ups. It's crazy. I am a huge animal lover! It bothers me to the core of my being when I see innocent animals living under neglectful circumstances. I'm not talking so much about the pets on todays show, although that bothers me too, but the people who collect more animals than they can handle. If anyone has ever watched "Animal Cop's" they would know what I'm talking about. It's just not right for people to force pets to have to live in their own urine and feces, and to have bugs in their food. I've seen people on the show "How Clean is This House" where the home owner has the litter box right up against the food and water station. Animals get sick just as we do, they get diseases, parasites, and stomach aches. This just sickens me. And on top of everything people do not get their pets spayed or neutered. It does not give the pet a better life to allow them to have a litter first before fixing them. In fact, they will live a longer and healthier life if they never get pregnant at all. People need to be more responsible over this issue just as they need to be responsible for children. They are all innocent and don't have any say about who they have to live with.
