Investigators found 49 animals living trapped in cage full of their own feces and urine at an elderly hoarder's disgusting Long Island house.

Suffolk Count officers received worrying reports from neighbors that 79-year-old Linda Hart was torturing dogs in her Ronkonkoma home.

After obtaining a search warrant, investigators entered the house of horrors to find 49 pets caged throughout the foul residence as well as thousands of maggots and flies.

The cruel woman had trapped the distressed dogs in cages full of feces and urine throughout her house of horrors.

Hart had left the innocent pooches to become severely matted with barely an inch to move in what an officer described as 'the worst' case of animal abuse he has ever seen.
