Animal hoarding is a mental illness

Hoarders come in all shapes and sizes, even though most of us think of little old ladies with their cats. There is even a television show on A&E called "Hoarders" which deals with people who hoard things, not necessarily animals.
I found this article in the Orlando Sentinel about the problem of animal hoarding and thought it was interesting, especially considering the number of hoarding cases in Florida this year. Check it out here.
