Saying she has mental problems, which I assume is what you're doing, does not excuse her for this. The woman has no sympathy, no empathy and should never have been allowed a pet, let alone a whole menagerie. And now she should be motored closely, like they monitor animal abusers in the USA, because animal abuse and other kinds of abuse often go hand in hand.

I'm not saying it's an excuse or that there should be no consequences, like I said she should be placed in a secure psychiatric unit rather than a conventional prison. It's quite clearly not appropriate for someone who is already a trainwreck.
Anyway - the bolded part of your post is really my entire point. She's too far gone to be anything other than what she is at this point, but that is tragic. People shouldn't get to this point. People are dismissed and brushed under the carpet as they slowly disintegrate from childhood onwards and no one bothers to give them a second glance until it's FAR too late. That's just the society we live in.
