fascinating stories..

"The San Diego Humane Society reported that last year there were five major cases of animal hoarding. These five cases involved a total of more than 245 animals. These hoarders became so focused on acquiring animals, and had so many, that eventually they were not able to properly provide for these animals, or for themselves. And they failed to recognize this as a problem." Read more at

"Basically, 2,000 kilos of rubbish were removed in late August from the apartment, at no. 13 where I once lived"...
