I've been hearing the term "animal hoarding" for a while now and have seen it on TV. My some cases are just terrible and really heart breaking. How do you know when you have too many? To some people having 3 dogs is alot, to some 10 is alot.

Not pointing fingers at anyone and just picking a random number here but wouldn't lets say 10 dogs be kind of "hoarding" even if you were taking care of them? Or is if if you have like 20+ animals and don't take care of them is when it is hoarding?

I have watched the hoarding shows and there is some hoarders who are organized but still hoarders so how do you know and label them?
