There's Having Pets... and There's Hoarding Pets

Some people think having four dogs or eight cats in an apartment is a lot. But that's nothing compared to what true "pet hoarders" keep.

Just recently, local authorities rescued:

• 69 rabbits from a one-bedroom apartment in Wheaton, Illinois. The discovery was made after the apartment's tenant was evicted, according to the Chicago Daily Herald.
  
  
• 1,700 parakeets from a two-room apartment in Berlin, Germany. Sky News reported that the uncaged birds left the apartment "littered with feces, feathers and leftover food." Authorities discovered and removed the birds after neighbors complained about the noise and smell.
