Funny you bring this up. There were two animal cruelty seizures in my area over the weekend. Over 100 animals, including 39 dogs, 40 parakeets and the rest cats were taken in after complaints. Our animal control is overrun.

Some of the dogs were show dogs, and the original breeders are desperately trying to get them back. How they were sold to a hoarder, I don't know, but I admire the breeders' commitment to trying to rescue their dogs.

The only positive side to this is the community outpouring of support. Local pet stores are soliciting donations and delivering food and supplies to animal control. Thousands of dollars have already been raised and donated in a real grass-roots effort.
