I hope I'm not interrupting, but Mole rats have a naked variety, as well as a blind variety, where the eyes are actually under the skin. These things are ummm...interesting to say the least http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/naked-mole-rat/

But, while I agree that the consequences must be paid in some way including jail time, we should remember that hoarders are mentally ill and need help or they'll just repeat the behavior once they're out of jail. For the sake of the animals they may get in the future, it's important they receive (and have NO choice about)counciling along with any jail time. "A dog wags his tail with his heart." Max Buxbaum

Becky Shilling Webboard User Reg: 12-01-2005 Posts: 1009 Loc: OKC, Oklahoma Offline	Yes, thanks Al, those were some of the very links I was looking for! All of us here should join or at least keep an eye on No Kill Nation and No Kill Revolution, Nathan Winograd's blog, and more importantly, find out about your local shelters' kill rate and practices. ASPCA and HSUS are the devil (and PETA) in disguise.

I agree Becky, it can make a difference if we all keep our eyes and ears open to our local shelters policies. I am so glad this was brought to my attention, Thanks Dana !! Joyce Salazar
