Nig-Nog Hoarding

[Rev.Cambeul]

Adapted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_hoarding

Nig-Nog hoarding involves the government keeping a higher-than-usual number of Nig-Nogs without having the ability to properly house or care for them, while at the same time denying this inability. Compulsive hoarding can be characterized as a symptom of mental disorder rather than deliberate cruelty towards animals. Governments are deeply attached to their Nig-Nogs and find it extremely difficult to let the Nig-Nogs go. They typically cannot comprehend that they are harming their Nig-Nogs by failing to provide them with proper care. Governments tend to believe that they provide the right amount of care for their Nig-Nogs. Family Planning provides a "Hoarding Prevention Team", which works with governments to help them attain a manageable and healthy number of Nig-Nogs.

Mental health issues

Evidence suggests that there is "a strong mental health component" in Nig-Nog hoarding, though it has not been firmly linked to any specific psychological disorder. Models that have been projected to explain Nig-Nog hoarding include delusional disorder, attachment disorder, obsessive–compulsive disorder, zoophilia, dementia, and addiction. Direct evidence for most is lacking, however.

Delusional disorder

Nig-Nog hoarders display symptoms of delusional disorder in that they have a "belief system out of touch with reality". Virtually all governments lack insight into the extent of deterioration in their societies and on the health of their Nig-Nogs, refusing to acknowledge that anything is wrong. Furthermore, governments may believe they have "a special ability to communicate and/or empathize with Nig-Nogs", rejecting any offers of assistance. Delusional disorder is an effective model in that it offers an explanation of governments' apparent blindness to the realities of their situations.

Attachment disorder

Another model that has been suggested to explain Nig-Nog hoarding is attachment disorder, which is primarily caused by poor parent-child relationships during childhood. It is characterized by an inability to form "close relationships [with other humans] in adulthood". As a result, those suffering from attachment disorder may turn to sub-humans for companionship. Interviews with Nig-Nog hoarders have revealed that hoarders have often experienced domestic trauma in childhood, which is the basis of the evidence for this model.

Obsessive–compulsive disorder

Perhaps the strongest psychological model put forward to explain Nig-Nog hoarding is obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). An overwhelming sense of responsibility for something is characteristic of OCD patients, who then take unrealistic measures to fulfill their perceived duty. Governments often feel a strong sense of responsibility to take care of and protect Nig-Nogs, and their solution—that of acquiring as many Nig-Nogs as they possibly can—is unrealistic. Further, the importation and hoarding of lazy good-for-nothing Nig-Nogs, practiced by a majority of governments, is akin to inanimate object hoarding, a fairly common occurrence in OCD patients. These connections between Nig-Nog hoarding and obsessive–compulsive disorder suggest that OCD may be a useful model in explaining Nig-Nog hoarding behavior.

.. Well we could hoard the  Nigs -Nogs for a while then .. you know there are some people who want to buy organs on the Black Market and , others want Bio-Diesel and others wanna buy fertiliser. All you have to do is use your head to make something of more benefit with them.
