Animal Hoarders

Animal hoarding, man.

If you're feeling down or overwhelmed by your life, or like you're  in a funk over something watch Animal Hoarders, and remember at least you don't live in a tiny ass mobile home, packed to the brim with dying, pissing, shitting, rotting animals. At least you don't walk on a carpet of cat shit. At least you have breathable air, anyway.

I mean even if you are a hoarder, stick to stuff. Don't collect living things, they go bad. You're not saving their lives, you're making them sicker. So hoard all you want, pack your house to the ceiling with stuff and more stuff, but no cats and no dogs and no lizards or pigs. Please.

I can't even watch that show sometimes, it's hella heart breaking. Kitty concentration camps-- a holocaust of house pets. They all live in their filth and their eyes are all pasty, sometimes swollen shut. It's just hard to look at-- they're not even cute at that point. It shatters your entire inner child to see. It's like you take the cutest most innocent thing in the world, and turn it into this:

 I can't believe it because these people say they love these poor animals so much, but they don't realize the animals are sick because they live there. In that case they'd all be better off in the wild. And the weirdest thing is some of these people don't even seem crazy, there's girls my age running shelters out of their houses and what not. They aren't bad people.

But they don't see the impact of what they're doing. Even if the animals were sick to begin with, these people don't have the means to treat them. Diseases spread easy so it's no wonder all these animals look like their nine lives are almost up. I mean what if the owner of the animals died. Then the animals would be trapped and unfed inside, and that would certainly not end well for anyone.

I've already had nightmares. Be warned if you watch it, this is no sitcom.

Bring a bucket.

This is Ratatouille status right here. It might be cute in the movie to have hundreds of rats with their little houses and boats and buildings, but in real life, guys, rats are rats. You can keep a couple of them in a cage, and let them out sometimes to hold and pet. I admit they're cute animals, but again, rats are rats. They eat trash and live in sewers, and are ultimately the garbage disposal of the earth, so let them do their thing, just not in your home.
Ratatouille was awesome though. If I had rats that could talk and cook for me I guess I'd hoard them too.

If you are hoarding animals, make sure you buy them somewhere safe and suitable to live, such as:
