Just cause I feel like this is frequently misunderstood.
Animal hoarding IS NOT: getting a new animal soon after one dies (if you have a proper setup ready and solved [if solvable] the cause of death of the previous animal) or having a lot of animals that are healthy and have enough space.
Animal hoarding IS: having a lot of animals to the point that their care suffers because of it.
Having 100 chickens with ample food, health care, and space, is not hoarding.
Having 20 chickens in undersized housing to the point that they are sick is hoarding. Or maybe 15 chickens is the amount someone has the funds to take care of, but the person has 20 chickens and they suffer because of this. That is animal hoarding.
Misusing the term “animal hoarding” is dangerous.
