Acumuladores de Animais

This show is very hard to watch, to say the least. Not only because of the subject matter, but I also think it's very exploitative, even by Reality TV standards. This is because a lot of these people seem to have mental issues that going beyond JUST compulsive hoarding. Like there was this one young woman named Kari (who was from MS) who seemed to have had AN ESPECIALLY hard time with this whole show because she REALLY DIDN'T get along with her mom and she might have had Aspergers' and a pretty severe anxiety disorder. And there was another young man named Shane (who might have been from Canada) that was keeping a bunch of exotic pets in a small apartment that he shared with his girlfriend that seemed to have had a below-average IQ and an Attachment disorder, which may have been THE CAUSE OF HIS ANIMAL HOARDING. So I don't think that those people really agreed to be on this show and were only on it because their hoarding had gotten so bad, they were facing legal charges for it! (Same thing with A&E's Hoarders and TLC's Hoarding: Buried Alive, but at least those DO have some entertaining moments that keep them from being downright unwatchable to someone who dislikes the whole genre of Reality TV in general!)
