‘What we have going on here is irresponsible, unsanitary and illegal. This is pet cruelty and normalizing neglect of animals.’: Father tries to save his children and pets from their neglectful, hoarding mother and their unsafe living environment

At what point do you admit to yourself that you have too many animals living in your home? This is the question that sits at the center of our story today as we gingerly step into the home of a woman who has ever so slightly lost her grip on reality and created a rather dangerous and hazardous living situation for her hooman and animal family to live in. told from the perspective of her hard done by husband who could not manage to help her gain some perspective, this story tells the tale of what happens when a love for animals goes too far.

So far in fact that it begins to hurt the animals rather than help. We can only wonder how things got this bad, but regardless of how things got to be the way they were, the question in life is always what can you do to fix it, especially when animal lives are at stake.
