200 Animals rescued from "hoarders"

The SPCA raided a home in Marshall,TX and impounded over 200 various animals,including birds,dogs,lizards,a hedgehog,rabbits,hamsters,mice,gerbils,guinea pigs and cockroaches.A little of everything....They were acting on a Harrison County Warrant for medical neglect and there is no word what charges have been or will be filed against the unidentified homeowner.Several animals were found to be dead and they were housed in sheds,pens and a filthy old doublewide mobile home on the property.
WTF is wrong with these people?It's fine to have a menagerie of pets if you are financially able to,and you are a responsible owner,but its no better than animal cruelty to have so many hoarded creatures that they are living in unhealthy conditions and are not properly nourished.It breaks my heart to hear this type of story because it happens alot in the news.As a busy Mom raising a child,its hard enough for me to care for just a couple of mice I keep but I do it!Little rascals eat as good as we do lol-honestly,though,people who would keep THAT many pets has some psychiatric issues that need to be addressed and they should never be able to own an animal again!
