Why Dr. Phil Instructs A Staff Member To Call Animal Control On A Guest 

I wouldn't be surprised if she used dirty water from puddles in the backyard to fill her fish's tank

She IS a hoarder.

Dr. Phil is da man!

as an animal lover I would not stand this kind of living conditions.

Damn rate so should anyone who sees dogs or any animals in a place where they are being tied up and elfr out In the sun and the rest dogs should be happy and if a dog is not happy it's because their owners

And he looked pissed when he said she should be ashamed of herself. Dr. Phil ain't going to take nothing from animal abusers.

@Merlin Moeller you made my day thank u

@Merlin Moeller ahhhh haha I just got it that's a good one

Dr. Phil loves dogs. He has one that goes everywhere with him. I don't think I've ever heard Dr. Phil so angry.

The problem with these rescues is that a horrifying number of animals are euthanizized because they are "too feral" for adoption.

Seriously, objects are one thing. No being deserves to live in those conditions, especially against their will.

It’s essentially what factory farming is...a hoard of animals living on top of one another in their own filth, in tiny cages where they can’t even turn around. The only difference is that it’s legal. And often these places are protected by law, so even though the animals are forced to live in terrible conditions, there isn’t much that can be done about it, except education and no longer supporting these companies.

Me either. Animals give so much unconditional love and are family members. I hope they all got good home's 💜💜💜

Fr 😭😭😭 I live for my pets (cat and dog), my children as I call them. Call me crazy for that, I don't care. I view them as my children. Even if I just accidentaly manage to step on my dog's foot or something like that, I feel sooooo bad and start hugging and apologizing - even if she barely noticed. One time I was cutting my dog's hair (she doesn't shed her fur, she's allergy friendly so she practically has more human like hair, hence why I have to cut it) and I was getting tired as I had been cutting her for so long. I was tired, she was tired so she started moving around a bit making it harder for me to cut, so I accidentally managed to come close to her skin on her chest while cutting. It BARELY cut her at all, but I did hear her scream very high pitched (not for long at all, it was more of a "ouch" in dog language) so I threw the scissors right away that second and I started crying. I checked her to see how bad it was.. it didn't even start bleeding, it was more of a scratch. So luckily, it couldn't have been that painful. I'm sure it was painful that second, but like I said, it was tiny and didn't even bleed the slightest bit. I started bawling my eyes out, hugging her and all. She was wagging her tail as soon as I hugged her, so it couldn't have hurt much at all, and she understood that it was just a little accident, nothing on purpose at all. That just goes to show how much I love and care for my pets. Even the slightest little "could happen to the best"-things breaks my heart and makes me feel so bad. So, just the thought of doing something like this lady is doing - I could *NEVER.* It just breaks my heart so much. It doesn't matter at all whether I know the animals or not, seeing them hurt in even the slightest way is heartbreaking. I don't understand people that willfully aquires pets, only to not give them proper care and love. I've seen homeless people literally taking so much better care for their dogs than this lady/family has. Having a big home and a garden is worthless if you're not taking actual care for them. I live in not the smallest, yet surely not the biggest apartment (I've lived in much smaller places than now also) but that doesn't matter. They have space to move around in here and most importantly, they're properly fed with good food and have all that they need. I take my dog out for 3-5 times a day, depending on my energy, if I work that day and on the weather (I live in Norway so our winters are extremely cold lol, so we spend more time inside during winter than summer). They're happy, clean, fed, not too big or too small, healthy and everything. Having a big home and a garden means *NOTHING* to your pets if you don't take care of them. It's not adequate to just let them outside in the garden, never walking them. It sure is a great bonus to your pets if you have a big home and a garden if you actually take care of them. That's definetely a great bonus. But that's all it is. It's just a bonus that makes it a bit easier for you to exercise especially your dogs. Your garden doesn't take care of your pets, *YOU* take care of your pets. Smdh.

How we treat animals says a lot about our character

Animals are precious.

People should treat their pets as well as your children because neither asked to be here.

That rabbit cannot love in a cage that’s less than 2 by 4 foot but ideally 4 by 4. It’s so sad to see those little bun buns crunched in there. WITH NO HAY. they need that to survive. My bunny is laying in my bed next to me sniffing my face and cuddling. It’s tickling me but he’s so lucky to have a loving family unlike so many other animals ❤️

God I bet it stinks!!!

That kills me. Watching my dogs run the yard is one of my favorite things. Especially when they get the zoomies.

@@aangeltx444 Zoomies are the best!! those poor animals. 😡

Huskies are not heat tolerant either.

as long as you wouldn’t treat your dogs like that i agree

Beautiful huskies at that. As hard as it is to get one let alone two just to treat them like trash.

Hoarders are mostly in total denile. Pets arn't pets anymore, just objects. Quality of life is gone and the pets suffer. I just don't understand why this man allows it all. Not only the dogs freedom is poor, the living conditions as well. For all living beings. Both of them needs to wake up!🔺❗

@NothingWild right. That’s neglect imo. It can’t constantly be as clean as it probably needs to be for their (human and dogs) safety and there’s no way she’s giving each of those animals all the attention and love they need and deserve. I’d love to have a dog, but I don’t have time or a stable environment right now. So I’ll simply not get one until I can give them that. This woman sees animals as objects, no different than her hoards of clothes and newspapers.

@NothingWild there is nothing wrong with having more than one pets in the house

Im a huge animal lover. I don't blame dr phil one bit for his response! Anger and sadness

He adopts dogs

@@flowerfleur8105 rlly?

@@angieroxy7550 yeah I've seen him show pictures of his puppies on the show before. He also said he takes his dog everywhere with him lol 🐶

He was sick with some sort of respiratory/sinus infection going on. He sounded like this the entire episode. His voice was horrible 😢

He absolutely loves people fawning over him. If he cared more about the dogs he would've called animal control after he had the pictures/video of them in the days leading up to the show. He was just showboating for the audience.

@@chrisk6668 that’s actually a very good point. He makes sure to review all interviews/content before the taping. I wouldn’t of realized that without your input

lol ikr

Yeah, they probably have that "LAUGH" sign hung up. Still, the fact that he wasted absolutely no time calling them out on the animal abuse and him making sure that someone would rescue them is applaus worthy. It shouldn't be, but waaaay to few people care about animals in bad situations. *WAY TOO FEW PEOPLE CARE. THEY'RE NOT OBJECTS.*

LMFAOOOOOOOOOoOOOoooooOoOOooOOooooo ahhh so true. I love this.

For real. I became homeless for about three years, and I had both a dog and a cat before that happened (honestly not my fault, seriously. Long story). Luckily I knew that my dog could stay with my father safely, so she wasn't really a worry for me. My cat on the other hand was. I knew of no one that would agree to take care of my cat for me while I tried finding a new place, so I was extremely worried. I asked EVERYONE I knew, posted about it daily on facebook and everywhere. I knew I could give him away, but I simply refused having to give him up to strangers. That was so horrible, the entire thing. I wanted my sweet cat back, we loved each other so much and I knew I could provide a great home for him as soon as I found somewhere new to live. It took me quite some time, three years like I said - but I did it. I eventually did recieve an offer from a friend who were willing to take him in, but after a while she found him to be "too much" for her (she fell way too deep in her drug abuse smh, my cat wasn't at fault in any way. He's a sweetie. I panicked as I had to look for someone else. Eventually someone else I knew took him in, but after a while they broke up and we're moving away from each other, and none of them were willing to take him with them. Same route once again. These two people were my last hope (I thought), so it absolutely broke my heart. I still refused to give him up. Then, like a miracle, some friends of some of my other friends had heard about our story and wanted to help - for free, even. They took him in and cared so much for him. They cared so much in fact that they wanted to TAKE HIM, despite promising me that I'd get him back when the time was ready. I was livid, completely FURIOUS. I couldn't do anything but cry myself to sleep every night, and just the thought of him brought me to tears. I had already fought so much for him, my energy was drained. Still, the thought of losing him for good was too much for me. I just couldn't take it. I did everything and more to convince them to give him back to me. After months of living in my new apartment, I still hadn't gotten him back, but I refused to let him go. Eventually, they budged. Thankfully. I now live safely with both my pets, my dog Lucy and my cat Skurk (Norwegian for criminal, pretty much - sounds like a weird name in English but I promise you, he fits his name completely and everyone just finds it to be a cute, fitting name for him). I work and take care of them very well, more than I've seen most people do. I'm so glad that I kept fighting for us, that I never lost hope regardless of how dark it all seemed for years. I'll fight for my loved ones, my pets any time, any day. Always. ALWAYS.

@@idalarsen2540 that was an absolute roller coaster. Oh my god. I'm SO happy it eventually worked out.

She doesn't see them as pets though, she sees the as possessions and treats them just a bad

But she is abusing animals but ya if I didn’t do anything to them I would do the same

Yes. didn't he kick her out?

Probably a lie, i doubt animal control would leave that house with the animals like that

@@DOCTORDOOM11273 wdym?

@@akagwhw im saying there is no way animal control said everything was fine with those living conditions, they would never leave animals in an enviroment like that. Well, at least i sure hope not

I don't know... I knew of a family with a similar situation (not nearly as many animals but still way too many). They would leave one of the dogs in a cage for a full day at a time or for most of the day, days in a row. He would just bark all day long and was being neglected. They had around 10 cats as well as another dog that was a nightmare but was not in the cage all day. They had a dog a year or so prior that became aggressive and they couldn't control it, so he was kept in the back yard at all times until he bit someone and was put down. I tried calling animal control and was told that unless abuse could be proven, no action would be taken, regardless of the number of animals or the history which I explained... And this family was good at putting on a front, seeming "normal" so nothing happened. I've been told by others (and now feel this way myself) that animal control is basically useless and does nothing, unless you're literally at Michael Vick-levels of abuse. So this woman, it seems obvious that if animal control had showed up, they would have removed the animals, but idk. You'd be amazed what they will ignore. I have a very low opinion of them now as a result of my own experience.

@@joy2955 well jeez thats awful, kind of disappointing. isnt neglect a some form of abuse though? I would imagine they should have done something, thats upsetting

Exactly. If you don't want to let them enjoy life don't have them. Likewise, though not for her, if you don't like the animal as it is, don't get it. No chopping the ears or tails or toes off, because you don't like it scratching furniture or how it looks.

Ive done time and i actually enjoyed solitary confinement lol

@@Verdeniza Uhmm. Okay. That doesn't mean it's okay to do this to all these poor pets. They've done nothing wrong.

Ugh god...

They should have made her leave back then too, I saw that episode

Yeah and it wasn’t like this, no animals when they filmed. Just a regular hoarding episode. Crazy how bad it’s gotten.

No she's a narcissis She's not clueless she's just selfish

My baby Brother had one Alaska malamute and yes they are big and yes they may look scary but they are big softies. They are gentle. This dog apeared out of nowhere one day. The owner made no effort to look for his dog and that dog was in terrible condition. He was smelling so bad and all it's fur on it's neck was gone. My brother kept the dog and brought it to the vet for it's neck. And that dog was so gentle. No mean bones in it's body. He love my little nephew. When my nephew got on the house, that dog was so happy and that kid would put his arms around his neck and giving him big hugs and big kiss and that dog loved it.

Like the weather now ? Stay warm

My husky is a velcro dog so he wants so be inside with us no matter what lol😂 but yeah we don’t leave him or our other dogs outside for long periods of time

That's what Huskies like is cold weather They also like to run, not be tied out all the time!

@@kathycuster8219 exactely. They are very active dogs. So they are perfect companions for active people. And yes, they thrives in cold weather climats. They are very gentle and loving dogs. They are good with young children. They sure LOVE getting attention. I was ever so sad, frustrated and angry at that woman for treating those gentle and loving dogs this way. And yes, those dogs sure LOVE getting attention from their onwers and other people.

First of all, they need to respect their innocent pets. They have zero voice or skin in the game. They deserve waaaay better.

@@idalarsen2540 first all she was on the Hoarders show too and this family has been trying to deal with her for years but you can't always get rid of people so easy or stop the behavior

Which episode is that?

She had a snake AND mice. Ironic.
