Reading the news a few days ago, I stumbled across a story that made me very upset. In my local area animal control raided a house. Inside they found 200 birds, 30 dogs, 6 cats, 50 quails, and some rabbits too. All in all they had a total of over 300 animals. These animals were living in their own waste and covered in fleas. The house was beyond liveable conditions. These animals have been removed from the house. And now are being taken care of at the local animal shelter. But like most, they are over crowded. They run mostly on donations and volunteers. An already packed house is now even more over ran. Currently they can't take in anymore animals or put any up for adoption until legal matters are handled. They are asking for donations so they can get cleaning supplies and other things to properly care for all these animals. So, I ask my fellow Eden members to help out the animal shelter. EdenPoints donations are accepted until June 27th. They should be emailed to Stormy (Stormy@edenfantasy s.com). You must include the gift card number and the email should be titled Eden Gives Back Donations. For those who don't know how to convert your points into a gift card, I'll explain. On your dashboard there is a tab for "Eden Points Program." Click that and you will find a pink link that says "Convert to gift card." You can then put in the amount you would like to convert and press the "generate gift card" button. Once the gift card has been generated you can find it in your dashboard under gift cards. Thank you for all the donations ahead of time.

Never mind...I didn't see JR's post until after I posted. I went to the sight. I am glad that they know who is responsible. People who harm animals are more likely to harm people. It makes snse. If you have not problems hurting an animal, it makes sense that you also don't have problems harming people--especially children.

In fairness, animal hoarders have no intention of harming their animals. They actually think they are protecting them, so it's not at all fair of you to link hoarding animals to child abuse. They are two vastly different realities.

There hasn't been much of an update. I assume they are waiting to hear what happens legally. But to be fair, no links to the news about this. Because it gives out personal information about the person in question. But Google is your BFF.

~Agreed! Animal hoarders often cannot understand what they are doing wrong. They are terrified that without their "help" the animals will suffer or be killed. They cannot see that life at all costs is not really living nor is it a kindness.

Also it is VERY easy to suddenly find yourself in over your head! I, could have been considered a hoarder when I had three cats dumped on me. I already had two other cats, both fixed. I was assured up down and sideways that the cats were fixed...but they were pregnant! Each queened 5 kittens and suddenly I had 20 cats. The animal shelter employees were rude and unsympathetic (Don't get me wrong I later worked for the shelter and lost patience with people who 'accidentally' had more cats than they could handle) so I did the best I could. I could have ended up on Hoarder's except that my house was always clean. I can't abide the smell of cat urine so my cats were clean and the litter pans were always clean, even though I couldn't afford anything more than provide dirt from my yard. Since I was a gardener it was ok but not the best solution.
Luckily I am not sick and when I was offered help I quickly accepted and adopted out all the kittens (fixed by a local vet) and the other adults until I had my original two cats only. I can understand and feel compassion for animal hoarders even though I would love to smack the disordered thinking out of their skulls. I don't despise or settle on them further abuse because when it is all said and sifted, even the worse offenders are generally, genuinely, trying to help poor abandoned animals.
As you can imagine I am a great proponent of spaying and neutering ALL pets BEFORE they litter. Even one litter of unwanted pups or kittens is too many. It's way to easy to fall in love with "fur babies" and way too hard to give them up when you realize you are overwhelmed.

Stopping by to bump the thread!

A woman's house was found down here in Venice, Florida with about 200 dogs and 50 cats. Working for Petco we donated a ton of money and supplies to help with rehoming and fostering these poor animals. Most of the animals were in small fenced areas with just a tarp for cover from the 95 degree sun and brutal storms. Any time animals are found in conditions like this it breaks my heart. This is such a good cause to support! Yay for the Eden community!
