Hello bird lovers!
I wanted to post this because I know you all are active in the pet community online and that you're advocates of animal rights and probably would care about this issue.
I'm a researcher for the series Confessions: Animal Hoarding, currently airing on Animal Planet that tells the stories of people overwhelmed by the number of pets they own. The problem is on the rise and affect communities across America.
We've had several hoarders on our show that had birds, rabbits, cats, dogs, snakes, rats, racoons and several other farm and exotic animals . We're trying to spread news wide and far about how we can help address the issue of animal hoarding for both the people and their pets.
Most animal hoarders don’t see themselves as hoarders, and sometimes don’t intentionally collect animals. Most of these situations aren’t dealt with until they become criminal. This results in animals being euthanized by over-stressed shelters, and doesn’t address the underlying psychological issues - meaning nearly 100% of people end up in the same situation again.
We are dedicated to finding comprehensive long-term solutions and believe therapy to be key to this. We can bring in experts to help.
If you or someone you know needs help because animals have overrun their life, visit Animal Hoarding Project | Home to learn more and submit their story. Alternatively, email [email protected] or toll-free at 1 -877-698-7387.
We will treat all submissions with confidentiality and respect.
Please share this information with your network, we want to help as many people as we can.
Thanks so much!
