The problem is, if a hoarder does not get mental treatment, they will do it
again. If there is public record of their crimes it makes it easier for good
rescues to identify them.
I do agree cruelty charges should be great for those torturing animals.

One of the related, inner struggles I have with such cases are, the cruelty
charges made to those with "good intentions" (which I do believe existed here)
will likely stick, yet every day sick individuals who purposely torture and
maim cats and dogs get off very easily even with much evidence. I read one
case recently of a man in California who was caught torturing then consuming
stray cats, supposedly he was even witnessed skinning one alive (and other
horrible acts), and he got a bit of community service, probation and a fine
under $500. This happens all the time. Perhaps the discrepancy is solely in
evidence, witnesses and the legal process, but it seems to me that hoarders are
penalized more stringently than flat out torturers who commit such acts
willingly, not because they got in over their heads.
