Very well put JS

The reptile man was little more than an animal hoarder. He even admitted he was a "collector" which is a horrible way to treat animals in my opinion.

The cat lady bothered me because a) the cats probably didn't have any way to find their own space and b) she continued to breed the cats despite saying she couldn't afford the ones she had.

The chicken and hedgehog ladies were both wonderful, bless them. The dog rescuer was a little rough in my opinion but her heart seemed to be in the right place.

I didn't like how people trying to resolve the overpopulation or mistreatment of animals were plonked into the same programme as people who are almost perpetuating the issues.

Thought the dog and heggie ladies were doing great jobs, at least they were rehoming/releasing the animals after retraining/healing.

The guy with the reptiles was just a selfish man who had no regard for his family imho. Nor any consideration for the neighbours who probably hate the reptile house he's building.

The chicken lady had her heart in the right place, and there's nothing nice about battery farming, so I understand why she does what she does. But to go from chickens to rabbits seemed a bit odd, I couldn't help but think of all those baby rabbits which will be produced.

As to the cat woman! It's despicable that she's breeding from those cats. Even then, rather than selling the kits, she's just adding to the hoard! Poor cats.

How lovely 

I was ok with her until the breeding came up 

I also thought it very strange for her to say she was thinking some might've died by now    The best way to get the numbers down is to find a nice home for some of them.  I know she took on 14 when her mum died but we never found out where or why she had 26 of her own to start with.

Good for the lady who rescued the chickens, but I couldn't deal with all the mess.  A friend of mine had 5 a few years ago and the mess they made was crazy and the smell was horrid.  Good job someone can do it.

The lady with the dogs deserves a medal for all the good work she does.

I just watched it last night. Yes the hedgehog lady and the dog lady were doing good, the chicken lady 

I did feel for the cat lady at first after hearing she had inherited a lot from her mother, but then the breeding  I thought she must have a massive house, but it looked like a normal semi or summat. The poor cats must find it hard to get a space of their own

£200 a week to feed them I dont know how anyone could cope with all of them,the grooming cleaning feeding the cat shows etc.The only life she has is cats

I'm just watching it now, the woman had 26 cats then inherited her mothers, she can't afford them, and said about some dying, very strange lady.

Why she bred another one i have no idea!!

She must have more money than she is letting on!

The Hedgehog lady although a little batty is doing a good job it seems to help the heggies.

[sheilarose]

She continues to breed 

Why not dedicate the program to someone who actually rescues, not just a collector of posh pussies?

Could find no sympathy and precious little empathy to be honest. 

[JackSpratt]

I'd have been more impressed with a rehoming centre....

You bet me to it, I saw it advertised last night.  I hope it's gonna be good and she looks after them well.

I just hope she looks after them properly, sounds more like a rehoming centre to me!
