Animal Hoarding?
- Thread starter Chuck G
- Start date
I feel that hoarding is when you have more pets then you can care for.
If you have 5 and they live in squalor and feces and pet foot all the floor and they are not properly cared for that is wrong.... but if you have 50 and you keep every one of them healthy mentally and physically then there is nothing wrong. I am home all day.. I know my physical and financial limits of what I can care for. When you don't know those limits and just keep getting more... to me that his hoarding. Thats just my opinion

I actually wrote a 6 page research essay for one of my college classes on animal hoarders. The definition of a hoarder is one who collects more and more animals but is unable to provide proper sanitation and general care. The typical hoarder is unable to provide sanitary conditions for both themselves and their pets. There are a variety of hoarder types. All in all, just because you have many animals doesn't mean your a hoarder just that you've a vast collection of animals =)

I'm dying to buy a sulfur water monitor. They grow pretty big and I have always had a passion for big reptiles. The problem is that I have nowhere near 950-2000$ for the reptile plus the good care! Better start saving! This is one of my friend's sulfur water monitor that I want- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaYS70NTiX8
Hopefully i will have the extra money by summer
