Animal hoarders’ houses need to be inspected

Regarding recent articles about animal hoarding:

I am an animal advocate, but I feel that there must be a mental problem among those who want to “collect” numerous animals and keep them in their homes, then not tend to them properly. Anyone housing multiple animals, especially cats, should be required by law to have an inspection of their residence every six months to ensure proper care. If they are found to not be sanitary, the authorities should take the animals to the Humane Society for adoption.

Animal hoarding is a compulsion that needs to be addressed. Let’s stop the spread of fleas, disease and unsanitary conditions by inspecting the residences of owners of multiple animals.

Great idea, Sarah. While the brown shirts are there checking on the well beings of the cats, maybe they can register them to vote too.

Praise be to Allah.

Yes lets have more government interference. Let the animal Nazi's in our homes to see if we are hoarding animals.
Sarah, if you know animal horders and feel that these animals are not being cared for why don't YOU do your CIVIC DUTY and drop a dime on these people?
I don't want the animal Nazi's in my house just because there is a LAW that says they can come in.
Get a damn warrant before you come... its in the constitution.
