In most states, there are no laws requiring rescuers/rescue organizations to be licensed or have any training in animal care, or any background check in order to hang up their shingle and start taking animals from shelters. Some take only the most desirable impounded pets, called “cherry picking,” free or at a minimal cost from public shelters for resale at a substantial profit (plus donations).
With the growing “no kill” pressure, there is an increasing number of reported hoarding cases where those involved obviously do not have the animals’ best interest at heart, but the tenacity and relentlessness of the “No Kill” movement has convinced a large part of the public and appointed or elected officials not to risk their wrath by questioning..
As a supposedly humane nation, how long do we continue to excuse horrific animal hoarders who often function adequately in social and academic realms and maintain a career—attorneys, veterinarians, even a former Mayor of Beverly Hills, have recently been convicted of gross animal neglect/abuse in hoarding cases. These are not people suffering from such a debilitating mental disorder that they are justified in keeping animals in gruesome conditions and filthy cages, providing inadequate care, and bypassing prosecution because they claim to “love and save” animals:
A tragic example is currently in the news. On January 26, in Summerdale, Alabama, police were called to Purple-Hearted Puppies kennel, a no-kill shelter, where over 200 animals were in various stages of starvation and some even forced to cannibalize dead kennelmates in order to survive. Forty-two dogs and cats were dead and two horses had to be immediately euthanized. When officers went to the home of the mother and daughter who owned the kennel, another 15 animals in similar condition were found. Both adults were present.
If you have never seen the horrors of an animal-hoarding situation and the misery and desperation of the surviving, helpless victims, please read this article, “Hundreds of Dogs and Cats Near Starvations…Dozens Dead” and watch the video here:http://www2.wkrg.com/news/2012/jan/26/hundreds-dogs-and-cats-near-starvationdozens-dead-ar-3125248/?referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fl.php%3Fu%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwkrg.com%2Far%2F3125248%2F&h=bAQGzKoy-&shorturl=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2Fyix3KC
