I don’t know if animal hoarding is more or less frequent in New Jersey than in other states, and I’m going to research that. It is distrubing, however, and the animals suffer terribly — and many times, die a terrible death. Oftentimes the properties where the animals are, are caked with excrement and filth to the point at which rescuers have to wear hazmat suits. I’m going to talk to some experts for a future post, and in the meantime, here is the story of the latest hoarding tragedy.
Sadly, this is just the latest instance of hoarding, and NJ.COM has a summary of recent NJ caes here.
