Also another example is that people like hoardes take in lots of animals because they love them so much. Eventually they have so many animals they can’t care for each one like they should. They will end up living in a cramped, dirty, and unhealthy place that can make the sick. Another reason is because younger kids don’t think they are doing anything wrong or think it might be fun to do. 6 Like when you think it might be fun to throw rocks at baby birds.
