Paris Hilton Needs A Pooper Scooper - Page 3
In addition to the well known Chihuahuas, Tinkerbell and Bambi, Hilton owns a Rottweiler named Tyson and eight other dogs. In 2005, Hilton got in some trouble with animal authorities.
The first incident involved Hilton purchasing a kinkajou. The animal, Baby Luv had to be given up because it was illegal to be owned as a pet. The second instance involved Hilton attempting to own a baby kangaroo as a pet, which she purchased in Australia. She has also won numerous awards for being the worst pet owner on the planet.
By owning so many animals and ascribing "human" attributes and emotions to them ("I feel like if I had a baby and someone gave it away it would be mean, so I feel bad for my dogs"), and by believing that she's doing something noble by keeping them around her, and by proclaiming she's such an "animal lover" when she is really doing more harm than good, she's showing definite signs of animal hoarding behavior. The dogs being well-fed and clean isn't the point. Simply keeping the dogs around and not attempting to control their population because it would be "mean" is one big red flag. But she can get away with it because, look, she's Paris Hilton!
There is help, but she has to want it. Animal hoarding behavior is difficult to treat because the person so often does not believe they have a problem. After all, they are helping animals, right? How can that be so wrong?
I first saw this on Defamer, but it made me so mad that I couldn't write about it until now. So many responsible animal lovers in the world, and somebody like Paris, who has the IQ of a chew toy and the personality of a stump, feels that she can do anything she likes just because she's "Paris Hilton".
Spay and neuter your pets!
