Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : They basically live in a home that resembles the show hoarders. (Not as bad but the clutter and gross aspects of the house definitely lead me o believe they are hoarders, no one has been to the house in 10 years for example) The dog they have is extremely old (at least 12 years old). She’s missing an eye (has been for about 6 years from an unpreventable injury) and since she’s grown old I think she is now completely blind. Her fur is matted and she spends most of her time wandering around the house and crying out (I’m assuming in pain). She is too helpless to be let outside and goes to the bathroom all over the house. This has been bothering me since I moved out ~6 months ago and realized how not okay their way of life is. I was hoping the dog would just die or they would put her down. Well I’m assuming they are too embarrassed of her condition to take her to the vet and put her down, and have apparently been looking into ways to handle it at home but they are busy people and nothing is being done.

They also have two cats who live perfectly fine lives and are fed regularly. I would feel bad having the cats taken away as well but I’m unsure what to do.

The reason I think this would make me an asshole because I’m sort of doing it out of spite that my parents forced me to live in a pig sty for 18 years of my life. But if it helps a dog thats in pain, does that justify my actions?
