Animal Hoarders

Last night I watched a television show about people that have a problem with animal hoarding. I couldn't believe the state that most of those animals were in. One couple in particular had 300 cats & most of them were sick. They were running a cat shelter from their house. Even though they clearly loved those cats they didn't have the financial resources to properly care for them. Eventually, they agreed to let the Humane Society take most of the cats away because they finally realized that the cats deserved better. They kept 85 of them & had to promise not to take anymore on. I have to admit that it was a difficult show to watch. Even though they weren't intentionally being cruel to those cats it was still cruel because they were sick & suffering. I can't condone mistreatment of animals. I believe that you should only have as many pets as you can afford to properly take care of. Pets deserve love & proper medical attention just like people do. So if you can't give them that then you shouldn't have pets.
