Misunderstood...

I don't know I think mad cat ladies get a pretty bad wrap too...and that's the thing...what's wrong with having a bunch of cats if that is what makes you happy? Why is there something wrong with people who have a lot of animals or who prefer the company of animals? I want to be a crazy snake lady too...I'm with Char! I would much rather spend my time with my animals than people most of the time. I think my family should move out and give me their bedrooms for reptile rooms...lol.

Because in most cases (not all) the people who have "too many" animals do not provide sufficient care for them all.

When an elderly person who is living on social security and is surrounded with a hundred furry critters, The animals suffer, They don't get vaccinations, proper health care, and often are allowed to reproduce uncontrollably within the squalor enviroment the are forced to live in.

Same applies to snakes. all too often I read posts on forums (not this one in particular) where certain indaviduals will post on say a Monday " I can't afford to go to the vet" or "I can't afford pinkies" and 2 days later post bragging about the new animal they just picked up.

There has to be a certain amount of restraint involved.
