Animal hoarding is still abuse

Some popular TV series (A&E’s “Hoarders,” TLC’s “Hoarding: Buried Alive” and Animal Planet’s “Animal Hoarding”) helped bring to the forefront the psychological disorder of hoarding. Though I didn’t watch any of these shows (I couldn’t even watch their promos, made me that uneasy), the general public is now more aware of this harmful “lifestyle” of not only hoarders but also animals if they are they are the objects of hoarding.
