Episode 2
Collectors are people who accumulate more animals than they can properly care for. Often referred to as hoarders, collectors often have a mental illness that leads to their predicament, and managing these situations so the collector does not re-accumulate animals is challenging. We talk to one of our Peace Officers about how she manages these investigations in order to ensure the animals are not in distress, and to ensure the owner receives help as well.
