In regards to your question what makes someone a hoarder, TUFTS Hoarding of Animals Research Consortium, which is the main authority on this issue defines an animal hoarder as such:
The pathological accumulation of animals was first described in [1981] and animal hoarding was formally defined in the public health literature in [1999] using the following criteria:
- Having more than the typical number of companion animals
- Failing to provide even minimal standards of nutrition, sanitation, shelter, and veterinary care, with this neglect often resulting in illness and death from starvation, spread of infectious disease, and untreated injury or medical condition
- Denial of the inability to provide this minimum care and the impact of that failure on the animals, the household, and human occupants of the dwelling
- Persistence, despite this failure, in accumulating and controlling animals
So if you've ever felt overwhelmed by the amount of animals in your care be they snakes, reptiles, ferrets, bunnies, rats, cats or dogs, you might want to contact Animal Hoarding Project | Home there's some good info there about hoarding and if you want you can talk to the casting people from the show by calling 1-877-698-7387.
All the best to you and your pets!
