Do some research - from the www.hsus.org website: "Hoarding is very often a symptom of a greater mental illness, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder. Animal hoarders quite often appear to lead normal lives, it's important to recognize when a person's fixation with animals has gotten out of control. The HSUS defines an animal hoarder as a person who has more animals than he or she can properly care for. Another defining characteristic is the hoarder's denial of his inability to care for the animals and his failure to grasp the impact his neglect has on the animals, the household, and the human occupants of the dwelling. What's more, hoarders are usually well-educated and possess excellent communication skills. Many hoarders have an uncanny ability to attract sympathy for themselves, no matter how abused their animals may be, which is often how hoarders manage to fool others into thinking the situation is under control.

Horses were being loaded onto trailers and officers could be seen stuffing items into black bags early Wednesday afternoon from Rory Walter’s All Creatures Home for Animals on Highway 57 at All Creatures Lane. Sheriff Terry Vogel confirmed animals were being removed and some had to be euthanized. How about supporting the Door County Humane Society that is taking care of the negelected animals. P.O.

Her heart is as big as the whole world... I just think she got overwhelmed. And while of course the animals need to be well cared-for (I have six of my own and would have countless more if I could), there's no doubt in my mind that they loved and trusted her. She's that kind of soul. She tried to do a very good thing, and for that I take my hat off to her. It's such a crying shame it had to end this way. There are no winners here... it's a sad situation for everyone involved. My heart hurts for Rory, and for the animals. Her heart is as big as the whole world… I just think she got overwhelmed.
