Animal Welfare

Do you or someone you know have concerns regarding the welfare of an animal?

Animal hoarding is the accumulation of large numbers of animals as domestic pets without the ability to properly provide an adequate standard of nutrition,  sanitation, and veterinary care for the animal.

Animal hoarders have a sense of responsibility for their animals and believe they can communicate and empathise with them.  But unfortunately due to the large numbers of animals they may keep, caring for them becomes unsustainable and lead to conditions of squalor.
