This case doesn't make sense. If a warrant was issued for her arrest in '05, how is that, 4 years later, she was still there in that house? Someone clearly was not doing their job. My heart goes out to the poor animals who were forced to live in those squalid conditions. She had a choice; they did not. IMO, animal hoarders are different from those who hoard "things". They begin w/good intentions and things go horribly wrong and they either don't know how to remedy the situation because it's gotten so out of control or they're too ashamed to ask for help. Either way it's the animals who always pay in the end.
