Inside Animal Hoarding: The Story of Barbara Erickson and Her 552
Dogs profiles one of the largest and most intriguing cases of
animal hoarding in recent history. Celeste Killeen's investigation
pries open the door to Barbara Erickson's hidden and closely
guarded life, offering an in-depth view of animal hoarding. The
chaos and torment discovered by local officials who'd responded to
a ramshackle farmhouse in eastern Oregon was described as
otherworldly, unbelievable. But, it was only the sad ending to a
lifelong story of betrayal, abuse and abandonment. This in-depth
look at how animal hoarding developed in one woman's life offers
the rich detail and context so important in understanding how to
recognize and respond to it and maybe even prevent it. Dr. Arnold
Arluke's discussion follows the Erickson story with current
research on animal hoarding and how it ties into the Erickson case.
Drawing from his background in sociology and extensive study of the
human/animal relationship, Arluke offers further insight about
animal hoarders, how they see themselves, how society deals with
them, and why people find them so perplexing. This integration of
investigative journalism and scholarship offers a fresh approach
with appeal to a broad audience of readers, those new to learning
about the phenomenon and those with first-hand experience in the
animal welfare field.
