Animal hoarders are prevalent in Ottawa

The act of animal hoarding is most often not done as abuse on purpose, but nonetheless it is still a very big problem for all parties involved.. Especially the animals.

The dangers of animal hoarding are even higher as the risk of sickness and disease are multiplied because of the fecal matter and urine that are always present in these cases. Open sores and wounds from fighting with the other animals are very common, as are communicable diseases including rabies. These poor animals need to be removed from the situation as soon as there is a problem that is detected.
