On this Monday, the JLP salutes animal hoarders across the land!
Animal hoarding has long been a facination of ours, and we want to step back a moment to honor those who amass insane numbers of filthy, feral animals in their stinking homes for our pleasure and amusement.
Over the years, I’ve written about a rabbit lady in Minneapolis who had over 100 dead rabbits catalogued in her freezer, as well as this rabbit lady in Oregon who tried to bust hundreds of her confiscated rabbits out of the clink. Both were fine women whose disturbed obsessions served the greater good.
Perhaps my favorite animal hoarding story was this one out of Wisconsin where a home filled with hundreds of feral cats was pumped full of carbon monoxide exhaust from fire trucks to kill everything left inside. That, my friends, is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard in my life.
We salute you, animal hoarders! Your troubling mental illness and subhuman living conditions are a pleasant distraction to us all!
I realize you’re TRYING to be FUNNY. But you fell, you fell hard.
Hoarding is a disgusting mental disease – and the animals suffer GREATLY. I’m not laughing with you, I’m laughing at you and your lack of understanding and compassion. Next time there is a ‘raid ‘ on a hoarders “home” go along, ya know just for grins and chuckles.
I defy anybody to read those stories I cited and not laugh aloud.
Thank you for your comment, Gialogan, and thank you especially for the arbitrarily capitalized words. This might help explain where I’m coming from.
Ha ha ha! You offended a PETA member.
I like how your response was to ask them out on a date (follow the link and read option 2).
I agree with Gialogan. You are very insensitive and hateful.
You might try tackling retarded people and AIDS victims next. Hoarding is just not funny.
Don’t worry, Mrs. Jones. I’m way ahead of you. (See here and here.)
Hope your needs have been satisfied!
i don’t like mrs. jone’s suggestion of “tackling retarded people and AIDS vitims” …that sounds even meaner than just writing about them.
observe. in the bottommost photograph, the bottommost section of an orange and white kitty, hanging from the computer monitor against the back wall of the room…..
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
It’s ok everyone, he lives in his mothers basement and the internet is the only girlfriend he’s ever had… Let the poor boy find some humor in life
Thanks for your thoughtful defense, Jess. She’s right, you guys. I need this stuff. It’s all I have left.
I wished you were one of those dying or decaying bodies covered in maggots and poo.
YES BECAUSE EVERYTHING SAID ON THE INTERNET AND MEAN HUMOR ISNT HUMOR. It makes me sad knowing idiots who obviously dont get that Peter is joking exist. Please stop existing. Jump out in front of a bus, shoot yourself, eat some pills, whatever it takes. Stop existing. I dont want to share the atmosphere with people like you.
Maybe it’s not nice to laugh but how to you look at this crap and not want to vomit? I’ve been to a house like this and I was sure I would DIE before I made it outside (which was not too much better). These people are sick and are in SERIOUS need of HELP. I think they don’t get help because they’re too far gone and they believe this stuff is ok. But still, I don’t see why people are mad at you. I would NEVER condone these peoples behavior. That’s just as sick as doing it yourself. You know?
lol I read couple of your posts and comments and seems like you only like to take those few comments that woo you. Instead of wondering why MANY people are reacting nagatively to your thoughtless post, and recognizing what might’ve been your mistake, you just throw excuses or childish comebacks to justify whatever you did. It only makes you look like a guilty teenager.
Being laid back is wonderful, but thoughtless and offensive doesn’t have to go with it.
This entire blog is thoughtless. That’s part of it’s mission statement. Sorry if it isn’t your thing. I’ve never once advertised this site or forced anyone to read it. If it bugs you, simply don’t return. There’s plenty of internet for everyone.
Whenever I’m feeling that my own living conditions are tipping toward to subhuman, I like to looking up hoarding on Google images. These blog posts are the exact thing I’m looking for. It takes a house full of cat feces and rotting corpses fixed on one side of the spectrum to the Martha Stewart home on the other to have my house on landing on Martha’s side. Thank you!
Well, I found your blog hilarious. Especially the computer monitor kitty.
I don’t find it funny. Where is the punchline? I want to say that I don’t find it funny because I am an adult, but my 4 year old doesn’t find it funny either. However, it is amusing because it is so bizarre. Who lives like that? YUCK! There is a show called Hoarders on A&E with cases worse than the ones posted here. Is like watching a building on fire, you sure as hell don’t want to get in there but, man, you just can’t look away. Maybe because deep down it makes the rest of us feel like we have our shit together.
i hope your worst habit makes it to the web.
@me: This blog is his worst habit. Wish granted.
Hoarding is caused by the MMR vaccine! Doctors are trying to rape our children’s neurochemisomethings with their Big Pharma poison!
I think you’re just an asshole and a loser…
Waste less space please…
Geez people….Lighten up. The guy is obviously not a clinical psychologist. He makes no attempt to analyse, only poke fun. No one is hurt by his crass observations. He lists no names. The blog is not meant to be literary. Those who are offended, please go and search out a “feel good” story and let the first amendment prevail, killjoy.
You horrid revolting creature how dare you find the suffering of others amusing!
