I don't understand people that hoard. It seems seriously crazy to me.
Animals actually hoard too, they will hoard certain items or food mostly though.
OH really? Like animals in hibernation? Do they keep things stored away while while hibernating?
Yeah, but they are mostly of food for lean times, so there's an actual reason for it.  Totally different from human hoarders.
That type of hoarding I understand. Do you know why people tend to hoard?
They seem to lose the desire to throw stuff away because they are attached to it - a lot of them have gone through really bad things like divorce or loss of a spouse and then it starts.
Do they consider it a sickness?
I believe so, and it's very much a health hazard when you look at the vermin infestation especially
I have watch the tv show "Hoarders" and have been left speechless more then once!
I've watched those before, those homes are a huge fire hazard and some of them even had poo everywhere from excessive pets that they hoarded as well.
