  In response to Marty's question, alot of people who hoard animals have what is called obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). OCD can manifest itself in alot of different ways, & for someone who is interested in animals, it often manifests itself as hoarding. The person often really does like animals & may not fully comprehend that they are actually hurting the animals instead of saving them. Like all mental illnesses, it is very complicated issue. This is just my opinion, based on my knowledge of mental illnesses. I myself am bipolar, so although I find these hoarding cases VERY disturbing, I somehow feel sorry for the people too, in a way. I just thought maybe I could shed a little light of the issue for you. 
  Also my condolences to any who have lost piggies. My computer has been on the fritz & I am still a little behind on my digests. Take care to people & piggies!


***JAIME***, Molly the new pig in town! & Albert always in my heart.
