Lord I hate animal hoarders! I had a friend and her family who do this, they would pick up strays, adopt pets and then between their households pass them off to one another as they couldn't either train them or take care of them. It makes me so mad to see people treat animals so carelessly.

Animals aren't disposable.  My parents certainly re-homed a lot of strays I brought home as a kid. Always broke my heart.  I vowed to be different when I had my own place. I did have every creature known to man pretty much.  Many of them lasted till their natural death but there were a few times my parents would nurse back to health strays I'd bring and then they would 'dissapear' to lord knows where.  They always told me they rehomed them.  I don't know- knowing my parents they wouldn't bother nursing back to health to just dump them so I try to trust they did the right thing. 

 I take the commitment seriously, I know each cat will be around 15-20 years, and dogs 12-15.   I DO have a lot, I have two Weims and two cats, a 16yr old and a 1.5yr old calico.  We are getting a 3rd dog (Irish) soon.  That said, we train with them and do tons of activities with the dogs.  All their vet appts are done.  I'm sure we'll get judged for having so many but we DO care for them very well.  In our circle of dog people with hunting/bird dogs though we are the ones with the least dogs, most of them have 3-5 dogs at any given day lol.  

I don't like to think about animals suffering

The smart pets escape and run away.  Animals are seen as disposable by the Gir.  Absolutely ZERO thought goes into her knee jerk decisions.

Ugh. Don't even get me started on people who should NOT have pets...
