Animal Hoarders - "Every Year there are hundreds of cases of animal hoarding........................
So how many is too many? Here are three simple rules to start   with. If you can't afford to
take each animal to the vet once a year, if the cost of feeding all of them properly is an
issue and the waste management is too much to handle, there are too many pets in the home."

Kim Into, Director of Animal Sheltering issues for the Humane Society of the U.S.said ....
"The solution to animal hoarding is not a single-agency approach.. In other words, many people believe it's
solely the responsibility of the local animal shelter.  We say it should be various agencies such as animal
control, police, code enforcement, human services, health department, elder services."
