Santa Ana Hoarder Incident : DONATE to the people that are saving the survivors
Just what the title says. For those of you that don't read the news or just haven't heard, a "breeder" in Santa Ana, California went pretty much totally crazy and left his hundreds and hundreds of animals to die. The stench of rotting mice and snake alerted the neighbors and called the cops. Hundreds were eventually found dead and the 186 survivors, in terrible shape, were turned over to a rescue group nearby. Obviously the snakes require serious medical attention and the group is trying to raise money to fund their recovery. Donate to these wonderful people saving the animals we love.

Re: California Python Breeder Arrested After 100s of Dead Pythons Found in Home
Asking for help is SO hard. I am so sorry his animals had to suffer for his grief and pain, and from what I hear they are pressing charges, so I imagine part of his penance will be a psych eval and proper treatment to help him cope with his immense loss. Hoarding is just one symptom of a much larger issue.

Well, I'm NOT glad that their pressing charges. This guy was a member of this forum, a rather well liked and respected member who suffered a recent tragedy. While I'm not a psychologist, I do deal with severe depression every day and this sounds like a pretty classic case to me.
It's a very sad story all around, it's very sad that the animals were suffering and dying, but remember that in the middle of all of this there is also a human being who is suffering as well.

I had no idea. (I also didn't read the news story, so that's my own fault).
I guess it completely depends on the situation...
When mental illness is involved, it can be a whole other thing. The most important thing here, to me anyways, is that the animals get taken care of (along with the person who had them) and that the public be aware. As in, of THE TRUTH. But, when the hell does that ever happen with the media.
