An inevitable complication of a large-scale animal rescue operation is the involvement of the media.
There have been a handful of in-depth reports which have captured the complexity of hoarding cases, but many do not. HARC has reviewed
hundreds of media reports, and has identified common themes in how animal hoarding stories are reported. Understanding
this pattern may be helpful for shelters or other community agencies when they must develop a public relations
strategy to explain hoarding cases in a public forum.
