Animal Compulsive Collecting - 101 animals saved from a horrifying living space
Almost 100 diverse creatures now have a safe sanctuary. Just recently, Oldenburg's vet office sought assistance from their local animal shelter.
The animal carers recorded their experience in an Instagram post, saying it's still etched in their memories. They embarked with three vehicles and an assortment of equipment including transportation boxes, cages, buckets, polystyrene boxes, snake hooks, and landing nets.
There were guinea pigs, rabbits, and birds waiting there, but also snakes, tarantulas, and scorpions. The herd of exotic animals made for quite a challenge. In the end, 101 animals were saved. "This experience still resonates deeply in our hearts. Although it pushes us to our limits, and their fate saddens us enormously, we find solace in knowing that the lives of 101 animals are now improved," the shelter wrote.
The city states that all 101 animals came from one household. This is a prime example of animal hoarding.
Pathological animal hoarding cases are on the rise, as per the Animal Welfare Association. Often, these animals are neglected, crammed into close spaces, and sometimes torn apart. Over the past year, more homes and apartments were cleared of these animals than ever before, surpassing the 2022 record.
Nina Brakebusch, animal hoarding expert at the German Animal Welfare Association, said, "In this era, people are getting increasingly lonely and losing touch with others." Personal circumstances can alter these situations.
Currently, there is no central database for banning animal keeping or a registry for this issue, and animal hoarding remains unrecognized as a medical condition.
