Speaker 1 (00:00):
A fresh show. It's Kiki's rise. The honorable k is here.
Judge Ki, your honor is yours.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
All right, let's get into the courtroom.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
The gavel has been hit, it says, hey, Kiki, am
I wrong for reporting my neighbor's rescue dogs sanctuary. I
live in a quiet suburban neighborhood. My next door neighbor, though,
started fostering rescue dogs. At first, it was sweet, two
or three dogs in the yard, but now he's got
ten to twelve dogs at a time, and it feels

(00:31):
like I live next to a kennel. The barking is constant,
the smell is awful, and to make things worse, the
dogs keep escaping through gaps in his old fence and
running into my yard. They've torn up my flower beds,
knocked over my trash cans, and even scared my niece
when she was outside. I tried talking to him calmly,

(00:51):
but he brushed me off, saying, these dogs would be
dead without me.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
You should be grateful that I'm saving lives.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
I suggested to him, maybe live how many dogs he's
fostering at a time, or.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Fixing his fence.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
He then accused me of being anti rescue and said
people like me are the reason that shelters are full.
That was my final straw, So I filed a complaint
with the city. Animal control came out and deemed his
home unsafe. They removed all of the dogs, even his
family dog. Now he's telling everybody that I'm evil and

(01:26):
I hate dogs, and my neighbors seemed to be siding
with him. Was I wrong for filing the complaint?

Speaker 1 (01:34):
That is a very complicated case. It really is. All right.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
Well, judge Kiki, by the way, you guys are the
jury eight five five three five, What say you?

Speaker 3 (01:47):
So you know I have a problem with people who
adopt dogs and they can't take care of them. I
have a big problem. Like I understand, your heart is
in the right place. My heart is in a lot
of places, but you don't need to adopt pets if
you can't properly take care of them. You know, I
wish you wouldn't have called and complained on him. However,
I'm glad she did because when they got there, they

(02:09):
deemed it unsafe, and if it is indeed unsafe, they
need to be taken out of the home.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
Like girl, I mean, you can, but then what happens,
what happens to him, that might be unsafe too.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
No, I know, I know, and I don't want any
of the dogs to go to glory. I want them
to be rescued and safe. But they clearly were not
being treated properly in his home.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
So yes, well call and you might be doing a
good thing, but the neighborhood doesn't have to be affected
by your good thing, because you should be able to
do the good thing in a way that is good
for the animals and also good for the community. Right,
I mean, it's just whatever you're doing next door might
be a nice thing. But like if again, if it's

(02:52):
unruly and unkempt and there's just there's chaos and whatever,
well then are you really doing a good thing?

Speaker 5 (02:57):
Right?

Speaker 3 (02:57):
And I was with him, I was with the neighbor
up until they deemed it unsafe. Like, Okay, the dogs
were barking, Okay, dogs bark The dogs tore up your
flower bed, Okay, girl, they need a home. You know
they're gonna be there forever. You know, I can get
past all of that. But when they deemed the house unsafe, bro,
I have to call the people. I'm sorry, you know,
it's not about you know, me hating or her hating dogs.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
It's just you.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
You did not have a safe environment for them, and
I know your heart was in the right place, but
I don't understand adopting pets you can't take care of.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
But my question is White fostering.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Why are all the neighbors turning on her if it
was that bad, Because wouldn't they have been affected by
the same thing.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
It sounds like they didn't have the same issue that
she was having. She was his direct next door neighbors,
So they're going off of his word and he's just
telling everybody she hates dogs and she's evil.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
Yeah, because I would rather that. I mean again, so
you're saving these animals, they're not you know, potentially being
put down or whatever else. But you're not providing them
with a very good environment either.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Right, So.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
Is something better than nothing? I guess is the question?
Or that's hard, that's hard to say.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
You don't want them to go too like one of
those shelters, you know, the you know.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
Right, but then again, if they're not living good lives
where they are, I mean, they're alive, but then at
what expense?

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Hey, Laurie, good morning, Hello, good morning, Hi Laurie. So
what do you want to say Kiki's court, you're the jury.

Speaker 6 (04:20):
Okay, So here's the thing. How often did these issues occur?
A lot of times? What happens is, you know, the
wind is blowing in the wrong direction, maybe there's a smell. Okay,
what was that? You know, once every couple of months
when the wind was blowing in the right direction. How
often was the dog getting into the neighbor's yard? Was

(04:41):
it once every six months? I just think that what
happens is is people they judge right off the bat,
immediately there's two or three circumstances, and they immediately want
to make this person guilty without hearing the other side.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, I guess the thing that's.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
I guess the thing that verifies all of this is
when they show up to investigate and they're like, oh, no, no, no,
you can't do this.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah you know.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
Now, I also know that cities and municipalities and whatever
have been known to overreact, you know, and say that
something is hazardous when it's not, or say that something
is bad when it's not. So, I mean, how bad
was it really? And I'm still wondering why none of
the other neighbors had as much of an issue with
it as she did. Now, granted, the proximity may have
been it, but somebody must have been on the other side.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Or is she really just overreacting?

Speaker 6 (05:30):
That should tell you I think there's overreaction here, I
really do. That should tell you right there. If all
the neighbors are saying, hey, it really wasn't this bad,
and the city has to do that. They can't come
out under those circumstances and not do something about it.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah, yeah, I get that.

Speaker 6 (05:48):
Although I agree that, you know, maybe something had to
be done, I do also believe there's another side to this.
I'd like to hear that person's side.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah, Laurie, thank you, have a good day.

Speaker 6 (06:00):
I'll welcome you too.

Speaker 7 (06:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
I think people think, well, I'm adopting these animals and
they're not in the shelter so that they're better. But
if they're not, what if they're not being fed properly,
what if there's what if there are too many where
the conditions aren't sanitary, then you're really not doing anybody
any favors in that case, And it does happen. You
hear about hoarders, you hear about all kinds of different
things or people that adopt an animal. I mean, I've
dealt with it one hundred times with pallets and pause.

(06:22):
I mean, Kaitlyn knows of one where you know, you
adopt an animal, the animal gets too big. This just
happened three or four different times. You buy a mastiff,
or you adopt a mastiff, or worse, you buy one
like a purebred mastiff, right, Like, everybody knows that they're
going to be huge, and then they get huge and people.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Are like, what is this?

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Right? Shock, I don't know what to do with this,
and then they're not treating it well and they can't
afford defeat it and whatever, and then it's like what
do we do?

Speaker 1 (06:46):
And then it's not great for anybody?

Speaker 7 (06:48):
Right?

Speaker 4 (06:48):
But like what do you do when you know you
knew what you were doing? And in that case, the
animal needs to be re homed or and luckily they
are organizations that are out there trying to do this.
But otherwise the animal is the one that you know
takes the brunze of it because they're the only ones
in this. You don't have a whole lot of control
of where they're going. Hey, Daphney, Hi, how you doing

(07:09):
Gigi's court. Good morning, what say you?

Speaker 8 (07:12):
I say that she should have definitely called animal control.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
I think it's so often that people don't stand up
for their own right and it's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah, Daphne, thank you. I'm glad you called. Have a
good day.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
And I guess the thing is you could say, well,
why didn't she call like a no kill or something like.
There's a bunch of organizations that would have taken these
animals and found them homes or kept them. But I
don't think that those organizations have the right to just
go into It needs to be a governmental agency invested
right to go into the house and be like, hey,
you know, I don't think you know, our friends at
whatever organization can just go knock on the door and go, hey,

(07:47):
I'm taking all these animals.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
No, because there needs to be some jurisdiction. I missed it.
Did they try?

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Did she try to have a conversation first?

Speaker 5 (07:54):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yeah, She says she tried to tell him like, hey,
why don't you foster less dogs at a time?

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Why don't you? It's your fits fixed?

Speaker 3 (08:01):
And he told her you're the reason that that was
thes our fool.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Hey Jenna, Yeah, Hijienna Kiky's court.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
So this this woman, you had a neighbor who was
flostering a bunch of animals but really didn't apparently have
the means or the ability to keep to take care
of them properly. Finally she called animal control. Animal control
deemed the place unsafe, took all the animals. Who knows
what happens now, and the neighbors are pissed at her
for that. What do you think?

Speaker 5 (08:28):
I think that he shouldn't have been able to have
as many animals as he did in the first place,
So she shouldn't have had to make a complaint because
I've tried to foster and I have one cat and
I wasn't able to because of the cat. So the
fact that he was able to have so many foster pets,
they should have been doing their due diligence and looking
into a man further and it would have never got

(08:49):
to that point.

Speaker 8 (08:50):
It's my opinion.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
I agree with that people lie about in that process
all the time. And I don't know if he was
getting them off the street or you know, actually going
through the whole process, but people do lie.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
When they're trying to foster animals.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 7 (09:02):
True.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yeah, man, it's not good for the animals.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Thank you, Jenna, have a good day. Okay, what is
this one? No offense?

Speaker 4 (09:09):
I love y'all, but I think you're a bunch of hypocrites,
because if this was not a fluffy dog and a
fluffy cat or bunny rabbit or something that was cute,
if it was snakes, all y'all would have agreed with
her and told her she what what we did.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Agree with her. He said that it was unsafe and
they shouldn't be there.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
It doesn't matter what animal. I don't care if it's
snakes or fluffy bunnies. It doesn't matter if the animals
are not If in fact, it was an unsafe place
for the animals and it sounds like on top of
that it wasn't well managed and they weren't being well
taken care of they were running around and whatever else,
then I don't think there's a choice here, right, I

(09:46):
really don't. And again I would love to have seen
them go to a place where they would be safe
and they would live forever.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
For sure.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
You know a no kill shelter, But I don't think
a no kill shelter has the authority to come in
and be like, we're taking all these animals, especially for
somebody who doesn't seem to have the self awareness to
realize that maybe they're in over their head even.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
If they are doing a good thing.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, but if we say that we well, we didn't,
we did.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
I don't know why I read that. I just I
don't know why I read that.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
I love snakes, to be honest. I know I'm a weirdo, but.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 7 (10:14):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Hey, Brandon, how are you doing?

Speaker 4 (10:18):
If you guys have to say about a snake, you
better stop right now. You better, Brandon. If you talk
about a glo or not a fluffy Bundy, then we're
gonna have a problem.

Speaker 7 (10:27):
No. See, we need to use some logic and intelligence here.
The city doesn't just deem a house unsafe because it's
a little fluffy buddy or a little uh puppy that's barking. No,
the house is a piece of crap. It needs to
be shut down for legitimate reasons. It's not because of
a dog. The house itself is garbage. Therefore the inside

(10:51):
is not safe. People just need to think a little
bit more clearly before they're panicking about well, you hate
my dogs. No, that's just the house itself.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
Look at this, Look at brand, right business, thank you
brand and have a good day. Brand is standing own business.
And because you know, government can be overreaching. But at
the same time, I'm sure they don't want to have
to deal with this now, you know, it's like this
is a logistical issue for them too.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah, Hey, Kate, good morning. Hi Kate, Kikey's car. What
say you?

Speaker 9 (11:24):
I'm just wondering what kind of shelter is giving this
guy twelve dogs to take care of. There's no way
that that he's working with like a reputable place that's
doing that.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
Yeah, that's that is a good question. Where all these
animals coming from, you know, because even the Pound, I
think at some point would be like, what what are
you doing.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
With all these you know, what what are we doing here?

Speaker 2 (11:43):
He's put on different weeks.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Where are they going?

Speaker 4 (11:46):
And again, if in fact he has the best intentions
and he really is just trying to save all these
animals from certain death, that I respect that, But there
is an obligation to the animals here to make sure
that they're well taken care of and accounted for and
they're not running and Lois, because that again, it defeats
the purpose if they're just if they're not safe and
they're not being well fed or taken care of her
that you know, a sort of sanitary environment, and took

(12:12):
the family.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Doll like they took his, you know, they took his
doll too, So that lets you know.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
They must have really not like what they saw, right,
And I don't think.

Speaker 9 (12:20):
It's like an animal hoarding situation, right, yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Right, right, right right right, And yeah I would feel
bad if I'm the neighbor that has to make that
call and that's what happens. But again, I mean, we
got to have some accountability here for the fact that
somebody came in there and saw it and goes no, no, no, no, no,
we can't do it like this.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, so there was someone's really wrong. Thank you, Kate,
thank you.

Speaker 4 (12:40):
Have a good day. Well now, Kelly, Kelly, it's the
neighbor's fault. Which neighbor.

Speaker 8 (12:46):
I think it's the neighbor with the pets because the
other neighbor tries to compromise. I think she was very
kind and trying to reach out and talk to him
about it, and I don't think she had band attentions
because she was even shocked that it was being done safe.
So I think that the neighbor did the best she
could to talk to the other guy. He just didn't
want to compromise.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
Yeah, I think you're right. Thank you, Kelly. Have a
good day. I think it's been decided.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Okay. I think he gets caught. I think it's a
case closed.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
She's not wrong, no, and it's kind of feel bad
and now the neighbors are mad. But then again, I
want to know which neighbors are the neighbors like two
streets over mad that didn't even have to deal with this.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
I don't know, but let this be a lesson.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
If you can't feed yourself or if you're struggling to
feed yourself, don't get a pet.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah it's like a baby, like a kid. Don't have
a kid if you know you already struggle, like
