Sad to say the poor animals often end up in worse condition than if they had not been 'rescued' and any rescue organisation that relies on a hoarder to house rescued animals is senseless. Not only do the animals suffer but the mental and phisical health of the hoarder is bound to suffer not to mention neighbours and friends of the hoarder
Yes, this is very true. I know some people who only have 3 pets and a young child in the household and it is already a 24/7 hour job and it is extremely hard to keep up with everyone. They have a bunny who needs to be changed everyday and a puppy who needs a bath regularly. I can't imagine people who have 10 pets because they just can't take care of them properly.
This makes me angry and frustrated but most of all sad because the animals may be in worse conditions compared to if they were in a shelter as you have previously mentioned.
