What is the best way to deal with an animal hoarder?
A. It is best to involve a multidisciplinary team made up of: social service workers, animal control or animal welfare agents, and members of the legal and housing system. Most animal hoarders are capable of responding to the efforts of a caseworker. But it is important to have the legal leverage to reinforce the fact that the animal hoarder must stop.
