The Humane Society of The United States reaches all over the world to protect animals from inhumane treatment. The found just such a situation in Montana, where an animal hoarder was keeping nearly 100 dogs in unhealthy conditions.
HSUS and parter agencies rescue dogs from filthy home


Animal Hoarding is a complicated compulsion, and historical statistics and research on this illness is truly lacking.
As an illness with a 100% relapse rate, it seems to me we should and could devote more energy to understanding it.
This dog was too weak to rise from this kitchen counter..

Maybe Johnson & Johnson can redeem themselves for the recent Ortho-Evra scandal, by funding studies into what causes people to hoard animals, and what treatments could keep hoarders from re-offending.
