Their complaints about hoarding are their attempts to apply the nightmare grip of the sociopath.

The case about Barbara Erickson was told wrong. She is not a hoarder. She takes care of animals that people throw away like they do their garbage. And yes there was alot of animals which says something about people who dump their pets for someone else to take care of. Barbara is that type of person -she never turned an animal away – they always had food,water and shelter and medical attention. They did get vet care but Barbara did most of the mecial attention herself and she was qualified- she was a retired navy R.N and had some vet training. Her and her husband spent their money taking care of these poor animals-social security and retirement pension. They never got help from places that claim to be protecting animals. Barbara knew everyone of these “throwaways” they had names and wonderful personalities. They had someone that cared for them and loved them . So where were all these people who cared about these animals that were being cared for by a “hoarder”. They never came around to ask if they ( the Erickson’s ) needed help-maybe someone to help clean the dog pens , wash their bedding, change their water or hold them when they were sick or even dying. Barbara did all that even when she was so sick that she was in the hospital and had major surgery. She got out of the hospital -released herself – so she could get home and take care of one of the dogs that was sick. She stayed up all night with it and took care of it. And the dog did fine and got better with her care. She took better care of the animals then she did herself- they always came first. No animal goes hungry or unloved around the Erickson’s. What the so called groups that came and raided and took the animals from their home was a nightmare. They weren’t concerned for these animals they just wanted to be famous -the ones that raided a couple that loved and care for animals. Where do you think these animals would have been better off- with the Erickson’s who cared for them -made sure they had food, water, shelter, medical, and love and attention or with some shelter in some cold cemented pen and maybe if they are lucky someone will adopt them or maybe and most likely they would be killed. We need more people like the Erickson’s and the people who dump or throwaway their once cuddly pet should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law- it needs to be stopped-they are the ones that need to be punished.
And people who write books about so called hoarders don’t know what they are talking about .

The police who arrested Ron Mason have something seriously wrong with them that is beyond just being stupid. There is a vicious gestalt that has taken over what passes for their minds.
