April 8, 2011--In Pendleton, Kentucky police arrived to more than they bargained for when they were called to building after complaints from neighbors. Upon entering the building, police found 77 animals, most of which were dogs. So how many dogs it too many? The woman responsible for the property claims the animals were fed and watered, but all the animals ended up being removed. The woman now has to appear in court for over 90 counts of animal cruelty. We all know that animal cruelty is extrememly serious, but now we can watch it on tv. Animal Planet now features a show, "Confessions: Animal Hoarding." This show documents the stories of people who are obviously animal hoarders. It shows us that this condition not only affects people, but animals too. No animal deserves to live in such terrible conditions, which is why I'm such an advocate for the local Animal Humane Society and adopting shelter pets rather than puppy mill, pet store dogs.
