An elderly woman has been banned from keeping animals for life after forcing dozens of cats and dogs to live in the 'worst conditions ever seen.'
Faeces-covered the walls and floors in EVERY room and the air was considered so appalling RSPCA officers required breathing equipment to search the home in Queensland, Australia.
Valerie Hicks, 70, was slapped with the ban this week after more than a decade of prolific animal abuse.
The pensioner was facing 11 counts of failing to fulfill her duty of care toward the animals but the charges were dropped when she agreed to a lifetime ban on pet ownership.
