You’ve probably seen stories on the TV news about a house full of cats or dogs that the owner couldn’t properly care for.  The numbers can range in the dozens or even hundreds.  These stories can make the headlines because of their absurdity.

Behavior of Hoarders
You may have thought that they were just being cruel to the animals.  However, hoarding is a sign of mental illness

rather than intentional mistreatment of the pets.  In fact, the person truly loves their animals and believes they can care for them.

The picture of a child holding a bunny is so cute, but it’s misleading. Children may squeal with delight over a baby chick; they don’t realize that those cute baby animals do not stay that way forever. 
Many parents don’t anticipate how much work these adorable, cuddly pets often require.  So the pet bunny or chick ends up being forgotten and either dying, going to a shelter, or becoming homeless. 
People do not realize that bunnies do not make good pets for children.

Phoenix Police were called to a overpass on the 51 late at night this last week.

When the officer arrived it was obvious a homeless man was trying to catch a tiny white kitten he had come upon. With the officers help they were able to safely catch the little girl before anything horrible happened. The officer stated that " there was no way she made it there on her own ... she was left there".
