OPEN LETTER TO KERN COUNTY DA:
What's next?
Well it sure would be swell if David Price - Director of Kern County Resource Management Agency | and Denise Haynes - Animal Control Department Director / Shelter Administration Chief | had their hearts in the right place about saving the lives of little doggies. If they had a genuine thoughtful concern for animals - little homeless cats and dogs and other little creatures. That's important in their efforts to work with Kern County residents who love animals. Imagine animal sanctuary folks and rescue organization champions being well thought of by the Kern County government animal shelter folks who actually are concerned and care about the lives of animals... County officials who understand why folks care so deeply about their cats and dogs and other animal pets. It would be almost like actually working together to solve Kern County's deep, deep homeless animal overpopulation challenges. Amazing!
In 2008 it is clear that Kern County Animal Control has some very real challenges from top to bottom. Very real challenges in the full view of residents, and in the harsh glare of troublesome public disclosures. Kern County's animal shelter is critically underfunded, disorganized and incapable of humanely dealing with the growing number of animals coming into its kennels. The result is illness, suffering and death.
So, let's not see Kimi Peck - who for years has worked to save animal lives - be a divisive target and a simple, easy diversion to get the spotlight to move off of Kern County Animal Control difficulties, budgets, facilities, officials, administrators and staff.
David Price has a lot on his plate.
We don't want Kern County Animal Control to get a chance to say: Look... Look over here at Kimi Peck and her house full of doggies she has saved.
And then say: No. No - don't look behind that curtain at Animal Control with their lack of a budget, need for an adequate staff and smart leadership to accomplish what needs to be done in Kern County.
June 2008 - last week Ch 17 and Ch 23 from Bakersfield have had a field day listening to folks from Burbank and one neighbor attack Kimi Peck. The reporters don't get it. They don't get it at all.
Here's the deal -- we're seeking some difficult work by reporters and journalists who will contact us and dig deeper into this story. Who are these troublemakers from Burbank? What is going on at Animal Control that calls for reform and changes? Have the Burbank folks contacted the Kern County Officials? The press? TV Reporters? Is that one complaining neighbor incahoots with the Burbank folks under their direction? So far we've see just the easy story. The no effort story. The typical story from TV reporter Kiyoshi Tomono and others: Kimi Peck has a lot of homeless doggies she takes care of at her house in the hills above Tehachapi. Isn't she something! Boy, she's got trouble now!
There is more to the story. It's as if Kern County officials don't want that investigative light heading their way. No way. Not at all.
The Big Story: What's happening with Kern County Animal Control?
The side story:
Look over here. Look. See, Kimi Peck has a lot of homeless doggies.
Let's get code enforcement after her and cause her more trouble!
Let's get her to jump over some compliance hoops for us. Yeah, that'll be fun!

An Open Letter to Kern County DA Office

Kimi Peck

Greetings:
Think about this:
Kimi Peck a supporter of Healthy Pets, founded a Guide Star recognized Chihuahua rescue organization and set it up in Burbank, California USA a few years back.
100s of Chihuahuas were rescued by Kimi Peck.
100s of Chihuahuas were cared for and given vet attention, spayed and neutered.
100s of Chihuahuas were adopted by qualified families who take care of their pets.
100s of Chihuahuas x 4 years.
Each year say 50 Chihuahuas were not adopted.
After 4 years that's about 200 Chihuahuas - not adopted.
Most - older unwanted seniors and severely abused incurable biters.
If a biter was adopted out that had been deemed unadoptable by a city or county animal shelter the shelter implanted microchip would be traced back to Kimi Peck if there was a problem. That means legal trouble for Kimi Peck.
Kimi was commended by her Kennel Package Insurance Company for being the only rescuer who never had an insurance claim against her.

In 2005
Kimi's Burbank kennel license limit was 168 based on the square footage of the site. As the number of abandoned Chihuahuas increased and were dumped at Kimi's gate - Kimi rented a 5000 sq. ft. warehouse next door to accommodate the exploding numbers.
Trouble - backed by a deep pockets financier
At about this time Robyn Berkenfeld (aka Berken) and Joan Rudd were recruited and paid to launch an attack/smear campaign and character assassination scheme against Kimi Peck based on a personal vendetta - not about Chihuahuas.
Lawrence J. Rudd is a Pasadena attorney and husband of Joan Rudd.
Cohen & Rudd 225 S. Lake Avenue, Suite 1195 Pasadena, CA 91101 626-449-0404

The Old Burbank Gang | mug shots
Did the Old Burbank Gang REALLY Contact Kern County ?
Kimi was often outspoken about the failings of Burbank and other Animal Control authorities across Southern California. Kimi made a number of enemies in the ranks of police department officials and Animal Control public servants - especially after Kimi saved 170 Chihuahuas from the Baldwin Park, California animal shelter where the supervisor said: "Kimi Peck will get these Chihuahuas over my dead body."
Lt. Bruce Spears was at the kennel every day. He had been a police officer who now was the supervisor of the Burbank animal control department. He typically had a smile for you while he stabbed you in the back.
Lt. Spears told Kimi that if she built a drain in the warehouse, he would approve 200 more Chihuahuas. Kimi's drain cost over $5,500 and was installed in the rented warehouse with the owners approval.
Lt. Spears then told Kimi to waterproof the walls. Kimi's costs for the waterproof wall treatment cost more than $3,000.
Lt. Spears then said the warehouse kennel would be inspected twice a day.
Suddenly Burbank City Chihuahua authorities started inspecting Kimi Peck's kennel twice a day - and that lasted two months.
Citations
Petty and silly citations were given for things like a hamster that flipped over it's water dish, an employee who carried a water dish too slowly, plastic bags filled with dog blankets that were continually washed load after load were deemed "unsanitary conditions," and then... not finding three (3) Chihuahua files designated and specifically called for out of 168 files - the only 3 that were missing that day. Those missing files were clearly a set-up by the insiders - Robyn Berkenfeld and Joan Rudd.
Trouble - backed by a deep pockets financier
A Bizarre Police Department Probe
We are informed and believe that Lt. Spears, a Burbank Police Captain and the Burbank city attorney, Greg Kaplin, were bought off.
It is clear that the Burbank City Chihuahua authorities were seeking to build a case against the effective Chihuahua rescurer Kimi Peck. Kimi's work was in the news and celebrated, she had won legal battles in court on behalf of saving the lives of Chihuahuas -- all in the face of the kill policy of local government animal shelters.
One late afternoon two strangers trespassed and took photos inside the kennel office. Officer Allen arrived and sometime later asked the two strangers if they had a camera. They said no. He asked if they had taken any photos on the kennel property. They said no. Officer Allen then went back to Kimi Peck to tell her that she is a liar.
How do you spell "police corruption."
Later, Robyn Berkenfeld and Joan Rudd filed a complaint with the Burbank Police Department.
After 2 months of twice a day inspections - at 10:00 AM the local tax payers paid for 10 Burbank Police Department detectives, 10 or more squad cars with 2 cops in each, code enforcement guys, and a camera team from forensics to descend upon Kimi Peck's kennel.
Little John - one of the Burbank Animal Control officers discovered a hairless Chihuahua and screamed and spit on Kimi's face he was so close: "Get the records, Kimi. Get the records right now. Or else."
Kimi called her vet and the vet records for the hairless Chihuahua's care were instantly faxed to the kennel. Little John never apologized for his hysterical and threatening conduct in his failed attempt to show off for his superiors. Law enforcement guys and Dick Cheney don't apologize they just say: "So"?
The Burbank City Chihuahua authorities cited Kimi for having too many Chihuahuas.
Kimi appeared in court on the citation for having too many Chihuahuas, despite the assurances time and again by Lt. Spears who assured Kimi could have more dogs if she just did one more thing.
There is bit more to the Burbank story. Here soon

Quite an intriguing story in itself - with friends, some heroes, Chihuahua volunteers and some real dangerous, petty, vindictive, awful villains who just don't get it but enjoy tearing down, causing unjust legal troubles, hiring hack attack attorneys, private investigators and who are just no help at all.
These folks need to see the light and ought to accomplish something positive and helpful. But no. These folks are as dysfunctional as the Iraq War / Katrina inept White House guys who's conduct we will watch all unravel in due time.
Remember - this all has to do with helping little Chihuahuas.
Trouble - backed by a deep pocket financier
Some paid staff and volunteers responsible for cleaning the Burbank site complained to authorities and the press that the site was not clean. Amazing. Keeping the site clean and the Chihuahuas fed, watered and healthy was the responsibility of the staff and volunteers who instead took photos of the site early in the morning - rather than clean up, feed and water the Chihuahuas. When Kimi arrived each day, things got cracking.
A Chihuahua Sanctuary
So, gone from Burbank and now in Kern County - Kimi Peck is providing a sanctuary for the Chihuahuas and other doggies that were not adopted back in Burbank along with some new little rescued friends.
Kimi would love to adopt out the 200 Chihuahuas she cares for now. But, to who? Who has the expertise to adopt a Chihuahua that has been deemed by animal control authorities as not adaptable? Well, Kimi can rehabilitate Chihuahuas as she has proven time and time again.
Kern County regulations do not allow a Chihuahua adoption business on Kimi's property. So, it's now just a sanctuary for "left over" Chihuahuas.
That's the story in a nutshell.

2008 Trouble in Kern County - backed by a deep pockets financier
Why the sudden June 2008 smear press stories?
Berkenfeld & Rudd back at it one more time.

Kimi's neighbor video clip on QuickTime 7 |
A Kern County neighbor is in cahoots with hired attack girl Robyn Berkenfeld from the Burbank days.
Notes: We are informed and believe:
The neighbor - Barbara Tacadina - shoots woodpeckers. Dead.
PETA and California Fish and Game ought to get in touch.
Are woodpeckers on the endangered species list yet?
It is likely Barbara shot at LUCY, the neighborhood Bloodhound.
Her daughter, SUNSHINE, is a methamphetamine addict who hangs out with gang guys.
SUNSHINE has three illegitimate children and has spent most of her adult life in prison.
Barbara - her mom - kept a loaded shotgun in her house when SUNSHINE lived with her mother.
It is unlawful for a CONVICTED FELON to have access to a gun.
Barbara kept a loaded shotgun in the house with her boyfriend, also a CONVICTED FELON.
He was the guy sitting next to her in City Hall recently.
Either Sunshine or Barbara SHOT at Kimi Peck's dogs two years ago.
Kimi can get a copy of the written complaint document filed with the Kern County Sheriff's Dept.
Kimi Peck made a second complaint last year when LUCY, the Bloodhound was shot at.
Barbara hires illegal aliens who work for her at her Primo Burger franchises in Tehachapi and Mojave.
They typically live in her unpermitted guest house.
This was reported to Code Compliance on Friday, June 20, 2008.
Her Primo Burgers have fed a lot of law enforcement officers and a local Judge at no cost.
She bosts she now has an in with Sheriff deputies and that Judge.
Typically these folks take her side in matters related to the law and disputes.
Barbara has a number of unlawful drug habits. See DEA.
Since 2005 Kimi Peck has provided Barbara with water from her well for $20 a month.
Barbara thretened a legal action against Kimi Peck with respect to a written agreement about the well.
Barbara's key complaint: Kimi Peck's dogs often bark.
News Reports
Kiyoshi Tomono the TV reporter may have a few follow-up questions for Barbara, if he is willing.
The painfully truth-challenged silly but dangerous attack team with ties back to Burbank who in June 2008 have launched a new PR attack against Kimi Peck, started up Internet blogs and websites, contacted the media and made reports to local Kern County authorities are clearly being financed by someone.

Note: at this point we could care less about copyright to Internet video news stories.
Our legal point would be that Kimi Peck is a joint author of whatever a TV station broadcasts
about her and thus a joint copyright claimant and owner based on her contributions to the report.
This will give you TV guys an opportunity to do some U.S. Copyright Law research.

2008 Trouble in Kern County - backed by a deep pockets financier
We believe it is same vindictive deep pockets financier from the Burbank-Berkenfeld-Rudd days - now resurfaced and with a bank account ready for trouble for Kimi Peck in Kern County.
Any influence on Kern County employees? Certainly undue pressure.
That's another story.
The goal the detractors are seeking: kill the dogs.
Why?
Just to kill the dogs...
and to harm and injure Kimi Peck.
That's it.
Chihuahuas
Instead, just seek do something good to help the previously abandoned Chihuahuas and other little sanctuary doggies that Kimi cares for. Do the right thing.
That's all we seek.
Note:
It would be so nice if Kimi Peck lives through all this new turmoil
and her Chihuahuas continue to have a chance at a pleasant life.

"Now with the wonderful commercial for Snapple featuring Chihuahua Rescue's Start Little, let's all join together to make special needs rescue dogs fashionable instead of the Paris Hilton, Brittney Spears dogs. Let's make everyone WANT to go rescue a dog from a shelter, not purchase a thousand dollar dog from a breeder. Stuart IS just as cute as Tinkerbell and his life was in peril until we saved him from death's door. Breeders Out -- Rescuers In." -- Kimi Peck
