Am I the only one deeply disturbed by this post? Eleven GSDs and she is a hoarder? I hope there is a lot more to this story than having 11 intact dogs. |If this person were a rescue she would be called a small scale rescue. About a week ago the 6 o'clock news featured an on the spot story on a "hoarder" in rural New Mexico being busted. They removed six dogs and 20 cats (over half the cats were kittens about 6 not even weaned yet) from the property. They showed very fat happy dogs wagging their tails while being carried out of a double wide. The owners were incredibly upset over their pets being taken. |The reporter did comment that this was not as bad a case of hoarding as some others but that none of the the animals were lisenced. I emailed the station and told them that just for the sake of sensationalism most of these animals who had a good loving home, who were obviously well fed and cared for would now be killed. I guess other people wrote in too because the story did not air on the 10 o'clock news. What is this country coming to?
