Human stupidity, never ceases to amaze me.

Not trying to condone any sort of animal abuse but most hoarders really dont see it as a bad thing they're doing.They are mentally ill not stupid.They honestly think they are doing good by the animals and saving them from a life on the streets,in many cases they are elderly people who are just very alone and not all there mentally who start with nothing but good intentions and quickly get overwhelmed.It is easy to feel very bad for those dogs ,but as fellow humans we need to understand that animal hoarding is a mental sickness and these people are not the same as the assholes who intentionally abuse and neglect animals.
