It&#8217;s sad because she&#8217;s a really caring person, but things went downhill after her husband passed away 12 years ago. Her house became a complete mess, filled with boxes and stuff everywhere, making it impossible to live in. The smell was so bad that it even bothered her neighbors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, the authorities stepped in and rescued the animals that were still alive. But now, the woman&#8217;s house is considered unsafe and is red-tagged.
