Animal Control director, Guy Shaw, confirmed why many hoarders move to Kern County and set up shop. He also confirmed why he and many of his animal control officers should take some courses relating to animal hoarding. Mr. Shaw stated that Ms. Peck does not fit the description of an animal hoarder. In other words, Mr. Shaw claims that hundreds of animals confined to cages/pens 24/7 for the remainder of their lives is ok as long as the cages are cleaned and there is food/water….HELLLLOOOO, GUY SHAW…WAKE UP AND SMELL THE CRAP LIVING IN YOUR COMMUNITY!!!!! A hoarder is a person who has more animals than they can properly handle. Kimi Peck cannot afford proper vet care on all of her 200 plus special need dogs. She cannot properly exercise the 200 plus dogs confined to cages/pens 24/7. She does not have the proper amount of workers to properly care for the animals. She refuses to apply for the proper permits to operate a rescue operation even though she’s been collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations. She cannot afford to pay for individual licenses. Not to leave out that Kern County Animal Control has ignored many complaints regarding Ms. Peck over the years and when they do an inspection, they give her ample notice. Let’s hope that Kern County sends Guy Shaw to a different department and pray they hire a caring Animal Control Director who understands hoarding. Until then, Kern County will continue to be a HOARDER’S HAVEN…So, hoarders, you know where you are welcome…
