Why Animal Hoarder's flock to Kern County...They can do NO wrong.

Why animal hoarders LOVE Kern County! Most never get caught and when they do...it's a slap on the wrist - if that...

How many dogs does Kimi Peck still have? 32? 40? 50? Does she have the resources to care for them? It was obvious that dogs rescued from Peck were in need of medical attention. Now Kimi Peck and her 'volunteer' accountant, Susan Marlowe, are claiming that Kimi Peck should be allowed to operate an illegal operation because, they claim, Kimi Peck is a victim to the latest Tehachapi fires. Kimi Peck a victim, AGAIN?

Was 60 year old Kimi Peck personally affected by the latest tragedy, the Tehachapi fires???? Or, are Kimi Peck and Susan Marlowe trying to pull a fast one on Kern County taxpayers? Will Kern County officials continue to allow Kimi Peck to operate an illegal kennel? Kimi Peck, always the victim or always the the opportunist? We'll go with the latter!

Not *quite* as good as the chimichanga on the chandelier

OK, this is not meant to get the fur flying on who’s right/who’s wrong when it comes to animals. I think we can all agree that lots of animals in not a lot of space = not a good thing.


The real question about the SPCA’s plight is how this woman was actually related (or not) to the late, great Gregory Peck?

While you ponder that, clean out your linen closet and kindly deliver any towels, blankets, or any other accoutrement you think would lend some creature comfort to our critter friends.

Kimi Peck is the ex-wife of Gregory Peck’s son Stephen, though I don’t know if I’d call that related. She hasn’t had much contact with the Peck clan in ages. But I was more disturbed to find out that Madonna dumped her unwanted chihuahuas on this woman, who allowed at least one of them to freeze to death in an outdoor pen.

I just hauled a Hefty bag full of old bath towels to the SPCA, but they sure could use more. Chihuahuas lose body heat very quickly, so they need to be wrapped, even in the summer.

Throw away the towels, and just deliver the plastic bags. If you pack 20-25 dogs in the Hefty(tm) bag, that’s far more effective than wrapping each one in a towel. And better for the environment!

Thanks for the info and the donations, sundog! I’m heading down there today with my goods. For anyone who’s interested, the SPCA is at 6201 Florin-Perkins Road, which is between Power Inn and Watt and between Fruitridge and Elder Creek.

I am sorry Sundog but all your information at http://hoardingchihuahuas.com/is not true. The story of them frozen was not Kimi Peck. It was Cynthia Gudger. The truth will all come out soon.

Interesting that a private investigator would comment at a public online forum—that what PI stands for, right, Becky? Part of a private investigator’s job is to be discreet and to protect the identity of her client. But when you post a comment on a blog as you did above, the administrator can look up your IP address and find out your location.

More to the point, I was told earlier today that Kimi Peck’s supporters are attempting to start a campaign online to “free Kimi.” Good luck with that. In just a casual Google search, one can see that Peck has managed to alienate the shelter and rescue community, her former neighbors in the Bakersfield area, and a lot of dog lovers. So either she’s the victim of a huge statewide smear campaign, or she’s left a trail of poop the breadth and width of Cali.

Becky: Funny thing about blogging. Somebody’s always giving you free advice. This sundog’s on the level. He socked your comment in the kisser and barely took time afterward to cross the street. He’s cagey.

The Humane Society rescued Kimi Peck's animals on July 8, 2010. Total, approximately 200 animals were rescued from Peck's 'sanctuary'. Today is July 26, 2010, and there are still 70 of Peck's former dogs not ready for adoption because they are still receiving treatment but hopefully soon they will be ready for you to love them and show them a life they so deserve. Please view the pictures in the following link. There are many wonderful animals in shelters EVERYWHERE that need a loving home. If you live in the Sacramento area, please please please consider adopting one of the dogs and/or cats/ and/or rabbits and/or chickens that came from Kern County. There is nothing more than these animals deserve (actually all animals deserve) than to have a loving family to call their own. Thank you for adopting!

The following are Kimi Peck's Kern County lawsuits pertaining to her 'rescuing' efforts from 2005-2010. Kimi Peck's Chihuahua Rescue and the Dog Angels are still listed on Guidestar.com and actively collecting donations. Please note that Kimi Peck has an extensive criminal record in both Kern County and Los Angeles County pertaining to her 'rescuing' efforts and you can view these in the citations section:

Support local legislation. Laws that recognize hoarding as unlawful with appropriate punishment and mandatory treatment are necessary. Even though hoarding cases exhibit typical characteristics of animal abuse, they are rarely prosecuted because they fail to show the individual’s intent to harm.

Why Do People Hoard Animals?
It is not clearly understood why people become animal hoarders. Early research pointed toward a variant of obsessive-compulsive disorders, but new studies and theories are leading toward attachment disorders in conjunction with personality disorders, paranoia, delusional thinking, depression and other mental illnesses. Some animal hoarders began collecting after a traumatic event or loss, while others see themselves as “rescuers” who save animals from a life on the street.
