"It's really a sad case of hoarding," said Hillsboro Commander Chris Skinner, "We suspect we have some mental health issues attached to this."

Hillsboro Police plan to charge Miriam Sakewitz with animal cruelty and neglect as soon as Tuesday. She says she was caring for the rabbits.

"I have a phonebook thick stack of vet bills to show I take care of those rabbits," Sakewitz told kgw.com. She said she didn't know how many rabbits, living or dead, she had in her house.

"I don't count the dead animals because they don't need to be taken care of," Sakewitz said.

She claimed to be storing the dead rabbits in freezers until she could properly bury them.

Police and officials from Washington County's Animal Control office were inside the house processing the scene, Skinner described, as a "barnyard."

"There's fecal matter in areas," Skinner told kgw.com. "There are rabbits in cages inside the house that are suffering from stress-related, over-crowding issues and other types of diseases and illnesses."

Sakewitz was not arrested, but police said she could face several animal neglect and cruelty charges.
