Who's the crazy one?

A&E's Hoarders. Seriously ill people.

But the helpers...

A guy has a house with a thousand rats in it. It is full of excrement and urine and the rats are attacking one another. The man has moved out and lives in a shed, but continues to feed and water them and let them breed. They are his "friends". The Humane Society comes to remove them, promising the hoarder that all of them will be placed in good homes. They spend hours and hours doing this work.

The level of control that these hoarders exercise over others is really disturbing.

At one point HS calls the hoarder over to show him a rat whose viscera are hanging out from a bite, to get his permission to euthanize it. They explain how painless it will be, it will end his suffering, etc. He takes a minute to decide. He agrees and goes off to weep.

I could never work with hoarders.

I was I the only one hoping that as the 3 big semis drove off, they'd be stopping at the nearest cyanide factory and eliminating all those pests???
